4 Attendees
Meeting began at 4pm
We ate cupcakes

Summer Reading

          -Attendees were excited about SR plans, especially the street art and poetry ideas. They were so excited about poetry, in fact, that they suggested a weekly poetry program over the summer.

Decorating the Balcony
          -Were generally dissatisfied with the decorations. Asked for the posters to be “updated” and “less childish.”         
          -Were really into decorating using teen-created art.
                    -Suggested a “Drawing Night” where teens could create art that we could then decorate with.
                    -Also suggested a chalkboard so they could have a “graffiti wall.”
          -Really wanted more book lists, displays, and suggestions.
          -Suggested a “TAB Picks” book display and/or poster. Suggested a bunch of books:
                    -Smile by Raina Telgemeier
                    -Drama by Raina Telgemeier
                    -I Could Pee on This by Francesco Marciuliano
                    -Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper
                    -Trouble
                    -Legend by Marie Lu
                    -Divergent Veronica Roth
                    -Drums, Girls, and Dragons by Jordan Sonnenblick
                    -Children of the Lamp series by Philip Kerr
                    -The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

Newsletter
          -None of the attendees were even aware that teens and tweens had their own page in the library newsletter. They liked the idea of having a separate newsletter just for them.
          -Were excited about the idea of using the newsletter to display teen/tween created art and writing.
          -Suggested a different “theme” for each newsletter, with the layout and book suggestions based on that theme.

Youth Collection
          -Asked for some different magazines about sports and music.
                    -Suggested “Cricket Magazines”
          -Asked for more books of poetry, and even suggested a separate poetry collection.

Youth Classes and Programs
          -Drawing Night
                    -Interested in creating a large mural
                    -Suggested painting old frying pans
          -Poetry Night
                    -Write and share poetry
          -Music Night
                    -Listen to/discuss music
                    -Sort of a quiet night to read and relax
          -Attendees were wildly excited about Monthly Movie Night, suggested a bunch of movies:
                    -Gnomeo and Juliet
                    -Oz the Great and Powerful
                    -Warm Bodies
                    -Beautiful Creatures
                    -Hunger Games
                    -The Perks of Being a Wallflower
                    -Lovely Bones

Teen/Tween Mascot
          -Attendees really liked the idea of having a mascot for the balcony.
          -They agreed that whatever it was needed to have a mustache. 
          -They had a few ideas:
                    -Narwhal
                              -With a book impaled on it's horn (which is really a tooth!)
                    -Alien
                    -Cat
                    -Puffer Fish
                    -Book with legs
          -I asked them to come up with some ideas/sketches by the next meeting.

Next Meeting
          -Scheduled next meeting for next week on Tuesday, April 2nd.
          -Attendees suggested tacos and/or bacon for the next snack. We'll see about that...
