Teen Board Live Concert Teen Work The Teen Summer Reading

Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library, 3 Community Park Rd., Broomfield, CO 80020
Rock Out at Broomstock 2011
Teens are invited to attend the annual Broomstock event on Thursday, May 26
from 1-9 p.m. in the Broomfield Commons Park. This is a free outdoor concert
featuring local bands in celebration of the last day of school and the start of
summer. It’s a great way for teens to rock out to a diverse selection of bands in
an alcohol and drug-free environment. Teens are also needed as volunteers to
assist at the pizza booth, during set-up and breakdown, and trash detail. If you
would like to help, please call Chippy Ciani at 720-203-2869 or email her at
[email protected]. Hope to see you there!

take care of some of your community service hours by joining
the Teen Advisory Board (TAB).
What is TAB? TAB members are teens in grades 6-12 who
volunteer two hours a month to help us make the library a
teen-friendly place. They share their opinions and ideas about
library-sponsored teen events at TAB meetings and help to
create this newsletter. TAB meets every 1st and 3rd Monday
from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Eisenhower Room. If you’d like to join
TAB, stop by the Teen Zone Desk to fill out an application.
