Help with a variety of events and one-off volunteer opportunities in the library. You can choose which opportunities you help with. Events include fundraisers, writing contest awards celebrations, designing artwork for promotional materials, etc. When you sign up for this list you will also receive information about external volunteer opportunities for youth in the community that we are able to pass along. If you are new to volunteering with the library, you will complete a self-paced orientation.
Want to develop your leadership skills while having fun helping to plan and promote Library programs and events for teens? You will get a chance to provide input on teen services and materials at the Library. The mandatory orientation for the Teen Advisory Council will be held in person on Wednesday, Sept. 17 from 7 to 8:30 p.m., followed by in person meetings on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month until Dec. 3. You will have the opportunity to continue for the Winter/Spring session in 2026 if you choose to.
Teen Room Bulletin Board Designers create eye-catching, informative displays for our bulletin board in the Teen Room. Display themes are decided by your Teen Advisory Council, and are up for at least a month. Teens get full credit for hours dedicated to their work – from idea generation to display set up. They can work on their designs at home, or can come to the Teen Room during teen time. No need to purchase your own supplies! Participants should be available for an orientation on Monday, September 15th from Monday, Sept. 15 from 3:30 – 4 p.m. and at least two of the following dates: Oct. 6 at 3:30 – 5 p.m., Nov. 3 at 3:30 – 5 p.m. and Dec. 1 at 3:30 – 5 p.m.
Want to get your hands on YA titles before they’re released to the public? Do you like the idea of earning volunteer hours according to a flexible schedule?
