Volunteer This Summer

Are you going into grade 7 or above this summer?

Do you like working with kids?

Do you have a few hours a week free to volunteer between July 1st and August 16th?

If you answered "yes" to the above questions stop in at the library and pick up a volunteer form! There will be a one-hour orientation meeting on June 21st at 7:00 p.m. Don't forget to bring your calenders!

Volunteer opportunities include working on the Teen Blog, helping and preparing for craft programs, folding flyers, straightening books, monitoring children at summer reading events, and taking pictures of events throughout the summer.
