Meet the Teen Advisory Board! {Part I}

It has been the brilliant inspiration of a humble nameless person (*cough* yours truly *cough*) to start a series in which I will introduce you to the core members of our Teen Advisory Board.

And.... who better to start with than our president?

Meet Brandon Ray, the newly elected President of the Teen Advisory Board.  Brandon is the third person to hold this position since the creation of the board, and he is very excited to hold this position now, because the teen board is playing an exciting role along the journey to library expansion.  When asked what he is most excited about for the future of TAB, Brandon says that "we are about to expand so that is pretty exciting. As of the future of TAB we are in the works of doing a promotional program. I think that is all I can tell you, the rest is confidential. Super secret stuff is going on.."
Brandon is also excited to build more interest in TAB, as well as the other teen events for the library.

Brandon has been volunteering at the library for two years now, and he became interested in the library because of his interest in reading.  He says that his favorite part of working at the library is the staff and the other volunteers because everyone makes you feel so welcome.

Brandon is a lot like me... when I asked him what his favorite book was he said that he couldn't exactly commit to an answer.  He loves the Beyonders series by Brandon Mull (he has the same first name as the author... of course he loves it... :), and his favorite book right now would probably have to be Chasing the Prophecy, the third book in that series.  But he added that he is reading new books all the time, so that is likely to change ;)

Brandon also enjoys cooking, video games, dressing up like a banana, and learning about the the Middle Ages.

Tune in next week to meet the Vice President of TAB, Rebekah Lawler!
