Teen Summer Intern Program: Applications Available!

Applications for this summer's Teen Intern Program are now available! You can pick one up at the library, or you can download one here! There are several events you can volunteer for:

+ the library's 25th Anniversary Celebration -- duties will vary, but may include greeting patrons, offering snacks, helping with activities & crafts

+ Summer Reading Desk -- marking reading logs, handing out weekly prizes

+ Kids Gaming Events -- setting up and overseeing kids games at open gaming sessions

+ Kids Crafts -- preparing for and assisting with crafts for kids drop-in craft sessions

+ Book Buddies -- reading books & making crafts with a younger "buddy"

+ Used Book Sale -- preparing for and overseeing the library's first ever used book sale!

The Teen Intern Program is a fun way to gain volunteer hours, which will look great on college and job applications! The program is open to teens who have completed 6th grade & up (as of June 2008). Shifts are usually limited to 1-3 hours per week, and volunteer space for each event is based on first come, first served (dates and times of each event are available on the application). The deadline for applications is May 24, 2008.
