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.

In 2012, the recipients were as follows: Adriana Thompson (pictured) was awarded a Service Scholarship in the amount of $2,000; Priyanka Gaur was awarded a Service Award in the amount of $1,000; and both Stephen Wilkes and Will Cefai were given Service Awards in the amount of $500. “We are so proud of all our teen volunteers,” said Friends of the Library President Diane Taylor. “It was our honor and privilege to recognize four of them for particularly outstanding service to the library and its patrons.” Congratulations to all of the scholarship recipients!
