The Youth Panel was set up in July
2004 and they meet once a month. They have been very busy and have
set up a Quick choice collection, written reviews,
selected sound and vision items,help with displays and posters
to promote reading and other activities in the library.
A new library is planned for Kessingland , so the
group will be involved in selecting colour schemes and
furniture.
During the Easter holidays the Youth Panel helped to decorate
Kessingland Library to promote the
children's activities they were holding. This included
painting the windows and making a sea creature collage.

I’m Hannah, I am about to turn 18. I am in my first year of a
2-year college course at Lowestoft College studying childcare in
the early years. In September I plan on starting a night course in
Japanese!!!
I am self-employed, as I baby-sit almost every weekend and on my
one day off college during the week. My hobbies include, creative
writing, anything Japanese and at the moment trips to London.
My favourite genre of book are crime and graphic novels, most
people think that graphic novels are comic (which they are!!) but
the art is amazing at it really brings a book to life!!!! The books
that I’m reading at the moment are the CSI books.
I use the library for research material for my college studies
and to get myself in someone else’s world. I joined the youth panel
to be able to have my input in the books and other materials that
come into the library. |

Hi, my name is Mairi (that’s me on the left) and I’m a
17-year-old 6th former at Sir John Leman High School,
studying maths, further maths, physics, art and product
design.
I love eating, sleeping, sunshine, running, laughing, shopping and
going out. I am quite a loud person at times, but otherwise pretty
shy, especially when meeting new people.
My favourite books are the Harry Potter series and a novel called
Dr Franklin’s Island by Ann Halam, although I also love the
classics such as Life of Pi and Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. As well
as reading fiction, I also find the library useful for research,
whether school related or not. The best thing about the youth panel
is getting a say in the running of things, and it’s also nice to
know our work is appreciated – people often comment on our lovely
displays. |
