Are you interested in becoming a Library Champion?
Library Champions are young people (8-15yrs) who act as ambassadors for libraries in Aberdeen. Library Champions represent young people in the city and are involved in evaluating, planning and developing library services and initiatives for young people.
What do you think young people would like to see in our libraries? What kind of events should we have? What initiatives or innovations do you think would benefit young people in the city?
Meetings will re-start in the new year.
