As part of our services, the Russell County Public Library provides teens the opportunity to earn
community service hours through volunteer work and serving on our Teen Advisory Board (TAB).
Giving teens this opportunity is mutually beneficial to them and their community. TAB members will help the Library accomplish tasks and engage in successful programming.
