Let Your Voice Be Heard!
YOUNG ADULT ADVISORY COUNCIL

Speak Out!
The Grafton Library invites you to join the Young Adult Advisory Council (YAAC) and volunteer your expertise on what teens need at their public library. 

Young Adult Advisory Council membership is open to all Grafton teens, ages 11-18 years old, and will meet once a month to discuss and plan library services and programming for teens.  YAAC members will give input on which books/magazines/cd's to order for the young adult collection, and help to plan and implement fun programming. 

So get involved, let your voice be heard, and speak up about programs and services for teens at your public library!  If you'd like to join the library's Young Adult Council, please contact Allison at 508-839-4649 or acusher@cwmars.org
