Teen Think Tank (T³)

PDL Teen Services offers our teen and tween patrons (in grades 7-12) the opportunity to bring their energy and ideas to library programs and services.

Teen Library Board Position

If you are a teen going into grades 9-12 in the library service area (City of Petoskey, Bear Creek Township, Little Traverse Township, Resort Township, or Springvale Township), and you are interested in serving your community, then this may be the position for you! The PDL Library Board of Trustees has a one-year teen position where the teen will be able to participate in library board business and learn first hand how governmental boards operate. This is a non-voting position.
