TACO: Teen Advisory and Community Organization (Volunteer Group)

Tuesdays at the Main Library, 4:00-5:00 PM

Thursdays at the West Branch Library, 4:00-5:00PM

Earn community service hours by participating in the Teen Advisory and Community Organization, or as we like to call it, TACO! Each week, teens can volunteer at the Peabody Library to earn community service hours, and will receive a free taco the first week of each month. Tuesday sessions are led by Amory at the Main Library, and Thursday sessions are led by Alex at the West Branch Library.. You do not need to attend both sessions, but are welcome to do so.

Please see a Librarian to fill out a Teen Volunteer Application at the start of this program if it’s your first time joining. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, which can be done through our Calendar, or calling the Main Library at 978-531-0100, or the West Branch at 978-535-3354. If you have questions, please email Amory at AThomas@noblenet.org.

Amory

Teen Librarian

HI! I’m Amory, and I’m the Senior Teen Librarian! I studied English and Education at Salem State University, worked as a Teaching Assistant for a few years before deciding to earn my Masters in Library Science at Simmons University. I collect Manga novels in my spare time, and love to listen to audiobooks and read graphic novels. My favorite genres are romance and fantasy! I have 2 dogs and 1 cat and some fish that I love. If you need help with anything, books or otherwise, don’t be afraid to ask!

Neph

Teen / Children's Assistant

Hi! I’m Neph and I’m the Assistant Children’s/Teen Librarian! I have a degree in Animation from the Maryland Institute College of Art. I love reading indie comics and graphic novels. My favorite genres are slice-of-life and science fiction. Feel free to chat with me about books, movies, movies based on books, books based on movies, video games, comics, or anything else that’s on your mind. When I’m not reading I’m drawing!
