TAG Members in El Capitan Cave

Checking in the library's mail, I found a familiar face on the cover of the January issue of Alaskan Caver. TAG member Samantha was there, in full caving gear, rappelling down Twin Pits in El Capitan Cave, Prince of Wales Island. Samantha, Mira and Taira had gone with a group of spelunkers to Prince of Wales to explore this cave and not only got pictures but Taira wrote a wonderful article about the trip and the cave for the magazine. I am not a caving kind of person, but I truly enjoyed the pictures and the article. Come in and check it out!

TAG's next meeting is Sunday and I am hoping to see a lot of members. We are still working on our book recommendations and we need to start gearing up for Teen Tech week and our craft in March. I know everyone is busy with other things as well, so I appreciate every one who can make it to our meetings!

Meeting and more!

Thanks to everyone who made it to the meeting last night. It was great to have so much input on ideas for summer programming, of course this is just the beginning. The reviews were interesting, if a bit sparse last night and we are still working on the book purchase recommendations. All in all a good meeting.

I want to congratulate Olivia on making student of the week this week. It is great to see others give recognition to this wonderful young lady. I truly appreciate her willingness to add T.A.G. to her long list of activities.

I thought this would be a quiet month for T.A.G., but obviously this is a very busy group of people! I just have to keep up with them.

T.A.G. Members in the News!

I want to congratulate T.A.G. member Alissa on her Voice of Democracy win! Not only did Alissa win the local scholarship competition, but she has also won on the state level. She will be traveling to Washington D.C. in March for the national competition. We will certainly be rooting for her on that adventure. Of course, just the trip to D.C. sounds like a wonderful time.

Also, congrats to Damon Anderson for making student of the week this week. I just wish his time with T.A.G. had been mentioned in the article! He is always a lively member and willing helper, I'm glad he shares some of his busy life with us as well as all his other activities.

The Ketchikan Public Library is truly lucky to have great teens - and all the T.A.G. members are great - willing to be part of our library.

Wearable Artists ... and Models!

The 22nd annual Wearable Art Show is happening this weekend, and I hope everyone who enjoys amazing art, clothes or FUN goes and checks it out. Not only will you find a trio of Lovely Librarians, but you will also be seeing quite a few VERY talented TAG members!

More than half a dozen TAG members are involved in the Wearable Art Show this year. Not only did TAG folk model, but many were modeling their own art!

I'll be honest, I am not surprised. The TAG folk are very talented in many ways, Wearable Art is just one way for them to shine. I hope everyone else enjoys the show(s) as much as I did!
