September Teen and Tween Programs



The Truth is Out There: 20th Anniversary of the X-files


Tuesday, September 10th

From 5:00-6:30

Join us to explore the world of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully and all the weird cases that they investigated as fringe members of the FBI. TV magazine called this series one of the greatest shows of all time. This program is for students in grades 6-12. Registration is appreciated but not required.



Teen Advisory Board Meeting!

Wednesday, September 18th

From 6:00-7:30 p.m.



This is our monthly TAB meeting. Everyone in grades 6-12 who has an interest in teen materials collection, programs, and activities offered for teens and "tweens" should consider being part of the Teen Advisory Board of the Danville Public Library. All of our meetings are open to everyone in grades 6-12. We do fun activities at most meetings, plan future programs and activities, develop a volunteer program, and participate in community service activities in addition to helping with other programs offered at the Danville Public Library. Members are not expected to attend every meeting or every event. Once on the board, you will receive monthly information from our meetings even if you are not able to attend. It is my hope that we would develop a large enough group to have at least 8-10 members at each meeting and 20 (hopefully more) members on the board. Serving on this board looks great on college applications and job applications. Those who participate regularly in TAB, for 6 months or more, can request personal letters of recommendation from Kris. Please feel free to bring friends with you to meetings. For more information, call or email
