Teen Volunteer Program

Students in grades 7-12 are invited to apply for volunteer shifts at the community library. Community service hours along with fun, treats, and an opportunity to win a scholarship during senior year are some of the perks of volunteer work.  Regular shifts include shelving books, working at the circulation desk, processing books, and working on special projects.  Fill out a volunteer application and then schedule an interview by calling the library at 263-2885.

Service Scholarship

The Friends of the Library award a $2,000 scholarship annually to a graduating teen volunteer planning to continue his or her education. Applicants must have volunteered for a minimum of 2 semesters (summer counts as one semester) with at least 50 community service hours at the library. Applications will be available in January 2011.  For more information, please contact the library staff.
