Volunteens
While we don't have Volunteens year round, we try and give teens an opportunity to volunteer during the Summer Reading Program . Teens work closely with librarians, the Youth librarian specifically, on various tasks for Summer Reading Program. Teens will gain volunteer experience as well as a good work reference for applications for scholarships, colleges, tech schools and jobs. Grab an application in the library or apply online! Must be 14-18 years old
