Teen Advisory Board
The Teen Advisory Boards at the locations of the Wayne County Public Library are volunteer programs that provide teens with an opportunity to have a say in what happens in the teen sections. From what books we order to what programs we plan, the TABs are at the heart of it all.
Teens can gain leadership and teamwork skills and make a difference in the library. The Teen Advisory Boards are a great addition to college applications. Meetings at the Goldsboro Library are held on the last Thursday of each month at 3:00 PM during the school year.
