What is the Teen Advisory Board?

The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is a group of teens who shape youth programming at Linden Tree Books. The TAB plans and hosts events, engages the local community, creates content for our social media, and provides feedback on upcoming young adult (YA) books. 

What are the benefits of joining?

Join a community of teens who love literature and the world of books! Plus 10% store discount, free advance reader copies (ARCs), and the opportunity to meet authors.

What is the Linden Tree Teen Society?

Teen Society members are our wider teen community. They don’t attend the monthly board meetings, but they attend events or volunteer, grab ARCs, and send us feedback whenever they like. Their enthusiasm and input keep our teen scene buzzing!
