Created in 2005 by the Governor's Books from Birth Foundation, the GBBF League of Extraordinary Teens will financially and logistically support county Imagination Libraries and inspire current and future involvement in the Imagination Library by involving and rewarding young people age 13-19.
How can I join?
Teens can become a member of the League by personally registering 10 children for Books from Birth and personally raising $135 in donations for Rutherford County's Imagination Library.
What's the reward?
For your accomplishments, you will:
- be given the title of GBBF Extraordinary Teen
- receive a certificate of appreciation signed by the Governor.
- be listed as a GBBF Extraordinary Teen on the Governor's Foundation website by name and county.
- be recognized on the Rutherford Books from Birth website. (See below.)
- be named in the GBBF Signpost quarterly newsletter.
How do I get started?
To get the forms you need to begin registering children and collecting donations, call Hunter McFarlin at 615-890-1070.
