About this event

Teens in grades 7-12 are invited to attend an information meeting to learn how they can assist us. Teen volunteers must attend a training session with Teen Librarian AnnaRae, held in the Susman Room on the lower level. You must register online for this meeting to volunteer. Please fill out and sign the attached Teen Volunteer Application (with Guidelines and Responsibilities), and have a parent/guardian sign it so you can start volunteering right away. A sign-up sheet for June, July, and August volunteer opportunities will be available, so please come with your availability! Please note: A parent/guardian may come at 4:00pm (at the end of the meeting) to help verify availability. Volunteers cannot sign up for hours until their application is fully completed and signed.
