We look forward to seeing you at the Utah Library Association’s 2026 Annual Conference at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, Utah!

Tuesday May 19, 2026 3:00pm - 3:50pm MDT
Empower teens to be the youth voices of the library through a Teen Advisory Board (TAB). Mentor teens to actively participate in decision-making by proposing, voting on, and helping implement library programs, while also promoting events to their peers and schools—ensuring teen services reflect real community needs.

This session will explore how TABs provide meaningful leadership opportunities through community partnerships, communication skill-building, mental health–focused workshops, and the development of job and interview skills.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to start or strengthen a Teen Advisory Board, build impactful community partnerships, and empower teens as confident leaders prepared for both the library and the workforce.

Attendees can join us for a roundtable session in the same room immediately after the presentation.
