Sorry, but the textbox above doesn't bigify when you click it.  Blame my minions.

Interested teens should join MPL Teen Council.  You get to write grants, plan events, recommend acquisitions, propose programs, and--this is THE most important aspect of the deal--eat pizza.  Often.  In enormous quantities.

I have a few suggestions for the new Teen Council to chew upon:

• There need to be more teen-oriented activities showcasing moi, such as my own graphic novel, music for my theme song, a Cauli Le Chat video, etc., etc.  (This list is almost endless.)
• Teen Council needs to make more library videos, including book trailers, program trailers, and promo trailers, for the MPL YouTube Channel.
• They need to save me some pizza.  Extra anchovies, if you please.

Sausage and Pepperoni Are Also Welcome,

P.S.  Teenager songs have been written for as long as teenagers have been purchasing records or CDs or whatever technological device is being used to sell music.  But there are only a few songs about the positive influence teenagers and twenty-somethings can contribute to society.  One of my favorites is "For Pete's Sake," recorded by The Monkees on the Headquarters album (1967), and written by Peter Tork and Joseph Richards. Peter, of course, was a member of the Prefab Four, and this was the first song he wrote for the group.
