The Bella Vista Library Teen Advisory Board works with staff members to promote teen activities and choose materials. TAB members (ages 12-18) meet monthly to discuss library events and books. A completed application and parental permission are required to be considered for a Teen Advisory Board position. However, all teens are encouraged to attend activities planned by the Teen Advisory Board. For more information, contact Joni Stine at (479)855-1753 or e-mail her at jstine.bvlib@sbcglobal.net.
