The Teen Library Advisory
Board (T-LAB) of Republic Library in Republic, WA has garnered top honors for their entry in Collaborative Summer Library Program's (CSLP) Teen Video Challenge. Guided by the theme 'You Are Here,' the group created a two minute video that is now the official commercial for Washington's Summer Reading Program.
"Everyone (who participated) had video programs and applications that they knew about," said Gailene Hooper, supervising librarian at Republic Library, said. "But almost everyone learned something new, especially me. This has been a great experience for the teens in our town, and we have really enjoyed participating."

The video was shot with a digital camcorder purchased with grant funds from the Kinross Gold Corporation.
