  This program is for teens in grades 6-12.

  There are several things our teen volunteers will be helping with and there will be training. These are some activities you'll be helping with:         

   

  • 1) Shelving Assistant.
    Helping shelve Children (2 hours)  or YA books (1 hour)

  • 3) Creating library related social media post (for TikTok & Instagram).
    This could be talking about your favorite web-series or book, doing a trendy dance to promote a program, or anything that you would like to create that's library related
