About the Teen Advisory Council (TAC)

The Teen Advisory Council (TAC) was formed in 1989 at the B.B. Comer Memorial Library and was the first group of this type in Alabama. The members of the group come from various area schools and are between the ages of 12 and 18. The group was formed in order to provide the library with feedback about its services to the young adult age group, but more specifically, how these services could be improved.                           

To help bridge the gap between young adults and books, members of TAC often provide suggestions of materials for the young adult department. TAC is often involved with other library programs such as sponsoring storytime events for younger children and helping to prepare materials for adult programs. TAC meets twice a month on Tuesday night from 4:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. for special programs, to discuss books, and to help put up library displays and change bulletin boards in the children's and young adult departments.
