Teens Take Back Westbrook… What does that mean?
Well, it means that you’ve got an opportunity to take a piece of Westbrook, and make it your own. Make it a better place for you, where you would want to go and hang out, have fun, or do what’s important to you. There are lots of public spaces that are in Westbrook that you can change and fix to suit you better, and we’re going to do all that we can to help!
What are we doing RIGHT NOW?
Right now we’re looking for the WHERE and the WHAT.
So, we need your help to find it. Do you know, or think you know, a public space that could be used? Post a comment here, write an email, or just drop in to say hi to Will in person at the library, and he’ll be happy to look up the spot with you and see if we can use it!
Even better, take pictures! Digital pictures, cellphone pictures, Polaroids, whatever! A picture can be worth a thousand words, and if you take good pictures of any of the places, we’d love to have them and show them here!
And lastly, the WHAT. What do you want for an outdoors hangout, or what hangout could you improve? Maybe you want some benches to add to your favorite spot to have a nice place to rest. Maybe you think we -really- need a basketball court somewhere, or want to add something cool and new to the skate park, or maybe you have some idea way cooler than any we’ve thought of!
So, go ahead and tell me in person, post a comment here, or email me at LibrarianWill@gmail.com
I’ll be putting all the great ideas up here for everyone to see and talk about, and I look forward to hearing yours!
