What's a YAAC?
The Young Adult Advisory Council (YAAC) is a group of teenage volunteers representing Springdale's middle, junior high, and senior high schools. They hold meetings twice a month to review books and movies for their newsletter and to plan special activities.
YAAC Activities include: participation in community service projects, supporting the Library at public events as such during National Library Week and the annual holiday reception, and assisting in the Library Summer Reading Program.
It's free. It's fun. And, yes (Mom & Dad), it's educational!
Print this membership application (PDF), or stop by the Library and visit with our Young Adult Coordinator, Sharon Christian. You can also email her at sharonchristian@springdalelibrary.org
