What is the Library Teen Leadership Program (LTLP)?

The Library Teen Leadership Program is San Bernardino County Library’s teen program that focuses on developing the next generation of leaders through
impactful skill-building and volunteer opportunities. The Library aims to create a safe and fun space to learn new skills, grow as leaders, and make friends along the way.
