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

-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.
