The Oregon City Public Library’s Teen Advisory Committee (TAC) is composed of up to 13 members in grades 9-12 who live or attend school in the Oregon City Public Library Service Area. TAC members help library staff plan teen activities, advocate for teen library resources, and provide scheduled volunteer assistance at the library. TAC members are required to attend monthly teen advisory meetings to plan upcoming events, work on TAC driven projects, and to discuss other relevant topics to library services for teens.

TAC members will attend monthly teen advisory meetings each month to plan upcoming events and to discuss other relevant topics to library services for teens as well as provide at least 1 hour of volunteer assistance each week

The purpose of the Teen Advisory Committee (TAC) is:

• To discuss and explore ways that the Library can provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for all teens in our community.
• To provide perspective and feedback to library staff and library board members.
• To provide opportunities to develop leadership skills through planning and organizing teen projects and events.
