Adopt-a-shelf Volunteering

Are you interested in long-term, independent volunteer hours? This opportunity is for tweens and teens ages 10-17 (18 if still in HS) to help the library maintain its collection.

You will be responsible for cleaning, organizing and maintaining 2 sections, one non-fiction, one fiction.

To receive your sections, you MUST:

  • pass a test: alphabetical order and numerical order, including decimal places 
  • attend an in-person orientation
  • volunteer a MINIMUM or 2 times per month

​​The test and orientation are NOT eligible for volunteer hours.
Registration is required via the events calendar.
Test are offered once a quarter: January, April, July, and October

Tween/Teen Volunteer Newspaper

Due to decreasing participation over the last year, the paper is being suspended after the August issue. THIS DOES NOT EFFECT LEADERSHIP PROJECTS/ROLES since no leadership was given on the library's newspaper. 

A new opportunity is in the works and will post here in the coming weeks. 

Leadership Projects 

Currently scheduling for October.

Parents, be advised that part of the leadership role includes your tween/teen reaching out to me independently. Please refer them to my email, thank you!
