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 Lake Travis Community Library offer a $2,000 service scholarship to a graduating teen volunteer planning to continue his or her education at a university or vocational school.  Applicants must have volunteered for a minimum of two semesters (summer counts as one semester) with at least 50 community service hours at the Lake Travis Community Library.

This year, the Friends of LTCL awarded Lake Travis High School Senior Jared Zamutt with the $2,000 library service scholarship. LTHS Senior Will Hoenig and Cedar Park High School Senior Paige Cleven were also presented $1,000 awards. Pictured below are Hoenig and Zamutt on the left and Cleven on the right.  Congratulations, teens!
