Yes, the Library is part of local government.

Hey guys. While I was off of school yesterday due to the TAKS test, I was still being productive. I sat in on a Young Adult's Action Council (YAAC) meeting at the Central Public Library. Here, I was able to find out some great ways to get involved through the local library while getting some last minute bundles of community service hours.

This group ranges from Freshmen to Seniors throughout the Irving ISD campuses. To join, show up at the next meeting on Wednesday, April 7, at 4:30pm. New members are always welcome. Their focus is to bring students to the library while having a great time. They host movie nights, gaming marathons and even have an anime club. Attending any of these events can earn you hours, as well as reading any book of your choice. For example, if it takes you ten hours to read a book, you will recieve ten hours of service. It's a great deal, and you're learning all at the same time.

I will be updating you on events that partake at the library. Check back for more details.


If you have any immediate questions, please email me at taelerdehaes@yahoo.com or one the sponsors, Mrs. Jenkins at ajenkins@cityofirving.org.
