The Library’s Teen Advisory Group (TAG) offers an opportunity for teens ages 12–18 to take a closer look at the behind-the-scenes work of the Library, meet other bookworms in the community, and share ideas about the Library’s teen programs, services, and collections!
The Teen Advisory Group (TAG) is designed to energize teen programming and services as well as allow teens a greater voice at the Library. Members of this group provide valuable feedback to the Library while earning community service hours. The group is open to Library members ages 12–18 by application.
Members of this group are asked to:
- Meet every month in-person
- Advise library staff on programs and services
- Brainstorm suggestions for future teen programs
- Volunteer to assist with Library programs when possible.
- Offer input and suggestions about policies
- Advise on furnishings and decorations for the Teen Mezzanine
- Promote the Library as a great place to be, to work, to study, and to read
Meetings are held one Friday a month from 17h30-18h30, at The American Library in Paris.
Applications for the 2025–2026 Teen Advisory Group were accepted through 31 July 2025 and are now closed for the year. Applications will open in spring for the 2026–2027 season.
Questions about the Library’s collections and programs for teens can be sent to Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager Celeste Rhoads: celeste@americanlibraryinparis.org.
