Make your voice heard by joining the Basalt Regional Library's new Teen Library Council!

As a part of TLC, 6th-12th grade students can influence the games, books, movies, and programs they want to see offered at the Basalt Regional Library. Students involved commit to a 1 hour of meeting each month, volunteer and assist when there is a need for teen programs, and carry themselves as representatives of the library. Members of TLC will influence the Young Adult Services at the library, can earn volunteer/community service hours, gain leadership experience, enjoy snacks at each meeting, and receive early access to new library materials and offerings.
