Programming & Events

Teen Services at the Gretna Public Library are designed for young adults in 6-12th grade. Although registration is sometimes required, a library card is never required for any programming, so you’re welcome (and encouraged!) to bring along a friend.

Teen Advisory Board

The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is a group of volunteers who work to make the library better. Members offer suggestions; propose, trial, and volunteer at programs; work on library décor; enjoy delicious free pizza; pet dogs; play games; and more! Joining TAB is a great way to make a difference in the community by keeping the library relevant to what Gretna teens want and need (and it looks pretty good on a résumé).

Students in 6-12th grade may apply to be a member with guardian permission.

Next meeting: Monday, April 1 from 4-5pm
