Volunteering at the library this summer~
Are you 12-18 and need something extra to do this summer and want to do something to help the community? Then consider working at the Summer Reading Desk and helping out patrons. You would be helping other patrons (children, teens, and adults) to sign up for the online tracker, helping them learn how to use it, giving out the childrens coupons, keeping track of the raffle tickets for teens and adults, cutting out shapes, promoting the program, and more! These hours can count as community service hours if you need them for church or school. Volunteer at least 6 hours of your time and get a t-shirt! If your interested, then sign up at the library front desk!
Also, everyone who volunteers is invited to our end of summer pizza picnic!
Summer Volunteer Pizza Picnic (or party inside if rain!)
