Chillicothe Public Library

What is Teen Advisory Board? TAB is a group of teen volunteers, grades 9-12, who help the library and make a difference in their community by taking an active leadership role in implementing programs and advocating for youth services in Chillicothe. Gain confidence, make friends, and enjoy snacks all while learning to advocate for yourself and your place in your community.

Learn to measure, mix, and munch on snacks you make yourself! Follow along with the instructions each month to learn how to cook, bake, or prepare a new snack.

Discuss fascinating true stories about our world, its people, creatures, history, science, and more! Facilitated by Gail Hintze.
Audience: adults & teens.

This month’s book is Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Other Lessons from the Crematory, by Caitlin Doughty. 

Curiosity & Cheesecake is sponsored by Triple Dipple’s Treats & Delicacies: you’ll have the chance to sample their famous cheesecake at every meeting.

Join our book club for adults to discuss The Witch of Painted Sorrows, by M. J. Rose. Also, you’re invited to bring one or two suggestions for next year’s reading list! If the weather’s nice, we’ll meet in person on the library patio. If not, we’ll meet inside. Either way, those who prefer to join us virtually can tune in through Zoom (info below). Copies of the book are available at the library. Check out the club’s Facebook event for the Zoom link and to connect with other readers: bit.ly/2VbzfiZ.
