Chatting with TAC

Join TAC Members Aaron and Sarah as they talk about the things they're currently reading, new books at MML, and books they recommend.

Join Community Manager Sharon and TAC Member Sophie for our April Conversation. We talk about registering for college classes, what's happening at MML, and the current state of libraries in the U.S.

Join TAC President Maya and TAC Member Aaron for a talk about books! We focus, mostly, on Graphic Novels. Make sure you catch Aaron's "I wouldn't read this, it sounds dumb" moment!

Join us for an unfocused discussion! This month TAC Member Bry, TAC Secretary Hanna, and TAC Coordinator talk about MML events, St. Patrick's Day vs Easter, cats, and the what's happening in the world of libraries. We're joined by TAC Community Manager Sharon and TAC Vice President Jasmine also makes an appearance.

Join us as TAC Historian Adam and TAC Member Aaron talk about books and video games. TAC Coordinator Jami has more to say about the books, but she's still around to ask questions and remind everyone not to mumble.

This month Jami is joined by TAC Vice President Jasmine and TAC Community Manager Sharon for a conversation that is a bit all-over-the-place. We talk about what's up at MML, childhood experiences, things that really annoy us, and some good things going on in Libraries across the state/country.

Join TAC Secretary Hanna, TAC Member Linda, and Jami for a talk about all things Book! We talk about vampires, fallen angels, and romances. Jami also accidentally spoils the end of Romeo & Juliet (sorry about that!)

TAC Vice President Jasmine and TAC Member Bry talk about the books they're reading, books they'd like to read, books they think everyone should read, and even one that wasn't a favorite. There's also a few books that Jami has actually read all the way through in this month's discussion!

Join TAC Historian Adam and TAC Member Aaron for a conversation about what we're doing here at MML, what's happening in other libraries, and the movies/TV shows we like to watch. TAC Coordinator Jami makes a few appearances with opinions, comments, and instructions.

Join TAC Vice President Jasmine and TAC Member Aaron for a conversation about books! TAC Coordinator Jami has a few things to add as well. We talk about new books at MML and books we've read and enjoyed enough to recommend.

Tune in for a conversation with TAC Secretary Hanna and TAC Member Aaron (with Jami there, too). We talk about upcoming events at MML, Halloween, school, and what's going on in the Library World. This time Jami delivered on the "good news only" promise!

Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 4 where we learn that despite this being season 4, we still aren't sure of everything we're doing. We adjusted the format again and hopefully you'll enjoy this slightly shorter talk where we discuss what's happening at MML, the current state of libraries, driving, homecoming, and Halloween. Be on the lookout for upcoming episodes focused on books. We'd like to start posting two episodes a month, one where we have a conversation, and a second where we talk all about books. Stay tuned to see how this season's experimentation goes!

Welcome back for Season 4! This season we have attempted to add in some structure to the chaos (don't worry, there's still plenty of chaos). In episode 1 TAC President Maya, Vice President Jasmine, and Secretary Hanna join Coordinator Jami to try out the new format, talk about all things new at MML, and touch base on what we're doing in the new year. Our new segments include:

• What’s happening at MML
• New Books at MML
• We’re Currently Reading
• Chaos
• Book Recommendations
• Library Topics

Feel free to skip around and listen only to the most interesting bits!

Get ready for what might be our most chaotic Chat yet! For the final episode of Season 3, we're joined by too many people: TAC Member Olie, Treasurer Sam, Vice President Maya, Community Manager Franky, President Cambria, Secretary Sharon, and Jami, who did not succeed in keeping us on track, at all. Sitting on the Story Time Room floor we talk about plans after graduation, bees vs. yellow jackets, and what we're looking forward to most about summer break. Scooby-Doo also comes up before we move on to our new segment where we talk about what is happening in the library world. Despite Jami finding happier things to talk about this month, it was not quite a success, but we're trying and hopefully, next season we'll be able to continue the segment. (Or at least the attempt to bring a small bit of structure to our chaos).

Cambria, TAC President, Sharon, TAC Secretary, and Jami get together. Join us for a talk about libraries, national library week, banned books, and more. The video cuts out mid-discussion, but the full audio version can be found on Spotify.

Join TAC Member Olie and TAC Treasurer Sam for a talk that was done early, but posted late. We talk about future plans, senior projects, and what TAC is currently working on. We definitely go off the rails at least once, but it's an interesting conversation.

TAC Members Sarah and Adam chat about everything coming up for teens and the books we've been reading.

Enjoy a new year (same lateness, though) with TAC Treasurer Sam and TAC Member Hannah. We talk about books, podcasts, the new year, college, and more. The video version cuts out about 10 minutes before we finished our conversations, but as an listener, you get Jami's full rant about the royal family. 

TAC President Cambria, Member Kaydence, and Coordinator Jami talk about their holiday plans and the plans TAC has for the rest of December and January. 

Join us for a talk with TAC Members Jasmine and Aaron. Our talk goes all over the place, mostly discussing our lives and experiences as humans. (And Jami's around, just not as chatty this month). 

After several attempts to reschedule, we're happy to present our October episode! TAC President Cambria, new TAC Member Kaydence, and TAC Coordinator Jami mostly talked about Halloween and Harry Potter, with the occasionally interjection from other TAC members present while we were recording. 

Welcome back! We're excited to return with your favorite half hour of chaos! This month new TAC President Cambria and new Vice President Maya sit down with Jami to talk about the new year, what TAC is working on, and what we're most looking forward to this year. Then we shift gears to talk about the slightly more serious topic of Banned Books. As we prepped to celebrate Banned Books Week 2022, Jami want to talk with teens to get their honest, on the ground opinion. 

All statistics, book lists, and other Banned Books Week information came from the American Library Association and the Office for Intellectual Freedom. 

Join us for what we think will be our final episode of Season 2. Graeme and TAC President Amber talk about being seniors, the plans they have for after graduation, and movies. Jami said "NO!" a lot and tried to steer the conversation towards MML's Summer Program, but that didn't really work. TAC Community Manager, Franky pops in and out with strange opinions too, just because he was in the room.  

Join us for an interesting discussion of video games, current activities, and what we're reading/watching right now. Community Manager Franky and TAC Member Aaron lead the conversation with interruptions from Jami and the occasional comment from TAC President Amber. 

New TAC Secretary Cambria and TAC Member Brooke join Jami for a discussion of old books and all the things that annoy us. We might have a theme going lately. 

Tune in for February's episode where TAC Coordinator Jami and TAC President Amber complain about being the only ones to do anything (even though that's not entirely true) and Amber talks about all of the books she's read in the same amount of time that Jami's read half of a book.  

Join us for a lively discussion of what we're currently reading. TAC President Amber and (current) Been-Here-the-Longest Member Graeme lead the conversation this month as we talk books, current projects, and future plans. 

TAC Vice President Leah and TAC Member Franky talk about a lot of things in our December podcast. Everyone remembered when we were recording this month and we carried on an interesting conversation. We talked about what we're currently reading, old holiday traditions, plans for this year's holiday season, and go off on a couple tangents (as per usual). We did such a good job that Jami didn't get a chance to talk about her backup/on deck stuff, so you might have to listen to it in January. 

This month Jami is joined by Amber, TAC President/Secretary, and Alex, TAC Member. Listen in for November's fast paced conversation that proves Alex was right, we should have recorded this earlier in the week. 

For our second episode of Season 2, Community Manager Alexis and new member Sam talk about current Teen events and books. 

Welcome to season two! For this season's opener, TAC President Amber and TAC Vice President Leah talk about our new year, going back to school, our first ever TAC Field Trip, an ongoing TAC Officer game of Monopoly, and more! As always, despite what she says, TAC Coordinator Jami does not keep anyone on topic. 

Welcome to our June Episode of Chatting with TAC! This month Amber, Leah, and Jami talk about our Teen Summer Program and in true summer fashion delve into complete chaos. Take a look to see what we've done so far for our Summer Program, what we're still looking forward to, what we personally have planned for this summer, and what we've been reading lately.

TAC had the opportunity to chat with some members of the Milton Public Library's Teen Advisory Board. We had lot of fun trading ideas and swapping stories. It was a nice chance to see how different teen groups work, how we are alike, and how we're different. We picked up some new ideas and shared some of our favorites. Check out our conversation here and let us know what you think. Hopefully, we'll be able to talk again in the future. 

TAC President Alexis and TAC Historian Brenna talk about our Teen Summer Program 2021, their 4H animals, favorite snacks, and more in May's episode of Chatting with TAC. 

TAC President Hannah and TAC Community Manager Leah talk about bees and books for this month's episode. Tune in to hear all about what we have going on this month/next month, what we're currently reading, and how we feel about snow in the spring.

TAC Secretary Amber and TAC Vice President talk about college and books. We touch on current TAC Activities, but only a little. 

In our second episode we introduce Alexis, our current vice president, and Leah, our current community manager. Other topics discussed include upcoming Teen activities at the library, the weather, and February holidays. TAC Coordinator Jami occasionally interjects a forgotten detail.

In our Premiere episode we introduce Hannah, our current president, and Amber, our current secretary. Other topics discussed include new books in the Teen Zone, upcoming Teen activities at the library, and New Year's resolutions. TAC Coordinator Jami attempts to keep everyone on topic while simultaneously derailing the conversation.
