Pasadena Public Library – Teen Advisory Board, 1/14/19

Present:  Carolyn, Chris, Emilie, Faith, Liam, Liliana, Lauren, Luke, Sophie, Taleen

Focus of January meeting: spring event, SRC prizes & graphics

Assignment: SRC prize research:

To prep for our next meeting, please do a bit of research on what you would like as a prize for this year’s summer reading program. We will need about five items for prizes. We can only afford to get one high cost item (between $4-6) this year. All others must be below $4 each.

Take a look at 2018’s and 2017’s prize menus. Some things I’d like to avoid are high screenprinting setup fees, high shipping costs, and very slow production times.

What I would like you to do to prep for the meeting is:  think about what you’d like to see on the prize menu next year, find some of these items online, and either (1) print out your findings, or (2) send me a link, so I can prepare to show it to everyone else.

Our theme this year is Showtime at the Library.
