Serving Breathitt County since 1894

The Breathitt County Public Library is proud to introduce our Teen Advisory Board!

The board is made up of teenagers from across the county from different schools and different walks of life. From paint colors to upcoming programs and even titles to add to our collection, the teen advisory board is helping shape the library into a more inviting space for young people.

We opened our board to any teen in Breathitt County regardless of where they went to school, their gender, or race.

We only had three requirements. You must be between the ages of 13 - 18 (7th grade-12th grade), you must live in Breathitt County and you must want to make an impact on your community by helping the largest FREE services facility in the county.

Teen Advisory Board members place 3rd in Honey Festival Parade with their bee-themed float

Check It Out @ Your Library

​Saturday, August 30, 2025 members of the Breathitt County Library Teen Advisory Board participated in the Annual Honey Festival Parade.  This year's Festival theme was 'Home is Where the Hive is,' so the TAB members dressed up as bees and decorated their float with a hand-made hive with bee balloons floating around the hive.  The TAB members also decorated the float with black and yellow ballon columns and a towering balloon column of flower balloons and multi-colored balloons.  Their efforts earned the third place ribbon in the float division.  We can't wait to see what next year's float will be!

Senior Spotlight

We have had the most amazing group of Teens on our Advisory Board over the years.  Each year we like to recognize those Teens that will be leaving the TAB at the completion of the 2025-2026 school year.  These TAB members have dedicated many hours of their time over the duration of their service, and we have been very lucky to have them as TAB members.
