The young adult board is made up of teens ages 13 to 18 years old who promote young adult use of the Rockford Public Library.

Member Privileges:
Being a member of the Young Adult Board allows you to help in determining the direction RPL will take in serving the teen community. The Board has input in the programs, services, books and magazines that Rockford Public Library provides for teens. If you feel strongly about what the library should be doing to serve young adults, this is your chance to make a difference!

Responsibilities:
Being a member of the YA Board means that you are an ambassador of the library to the teen community. You must be willing to attend monthly meetings, promote the library and library events, coordinate communication to teens through our My Space page and newsletter, volunteer at youth services programs and support RPL in other areas as needed. Our YA Board members share their positive ideas, listen and work well with others, and are willing to help the library better serve teens in our community. The YA board receives assistance from library staff Advisors.
