The Oregon Public Library offers a safe and welcoming environment for all teenagers. Come by the library to sit in the comfortable teen area, use one of the study rooms, browse the Teen collection, and attend any of the events the library has to offer. Teen programs are intended to be a positive experience for everyone, a chance for socialization, and to foster life-long library users.

T.A.C.O.S. (Teen Advisory Council of Students)

First Wednesday of the Month, October-May
5:00pm-6:00pm
Teen Advisory Council of Students (T.A.C.O.S) is for teens in grades 6-12 who want to be involved at the library. Each meeting counts as an hour of volunteering. 

To be a T.A.C.O.S. member, you have to care about the library and want to make the library better. Members will be asked for feedback, be a liaison between the library and the school, and will help plan an event for their peers. 

Interested? Come to the next meeting. After attending a meeting, students will need to fill out an application to be a TACOS member.
