iTAB and Teen Programs



iTAB is the Independence (Public Library) Teen Advisory Board and is open to 6th-12th graders.  iTAB is designed to energize teen programming and services as well as allow teens a greater voice at the library. iTAB shows teens they’re important and that they can contribute in a meaningful way. In addition, iTAB helps give library staff the teen perspective. iTAB meets on  a monthly basis throughout the school year. The iTAB Members contribute valuable ideas for teen programming and collection development and have opportunities for volunteering.


Many new and exciting programming opportunities are coming to IPL JUST for teens! With the reward from a grant opportunity we will soon have LEGO WeDo construction sets and software, LEGO Mindstorms, Makey Makey invention kits, 3Doodlers, and more!
In addition to the above Makerspace activities, teens can also look forward to book discussions, the TeensCREATE series with opportunities in the areas of art, writing, and drama, a Hunger Games party, food competitions, and more!
Contact Lulu/Kara at the library for more information on how to get involved!
