Do you need to complete required community service for any reason at all?

Let me know if you need a certain about of service hours and if there's a specific date you need to submit them.

Are you interested in continuing library volunteer service even after you've completed your required community service?

Yes, please keep me as an active volunteer on your list through graduation.
Maybe, but I might not actually sign up for shifts. Keep me in the loop just in case.
No thanks, once I’m done I’m done.

Why did you choose the library as a place to volunteer? *

No pressure! This is not an essay question. I’m just curious.

What are some things you'd like to do as a library volunteer? *

Again, you don’t need to impress me here. I want to get a sense of what you see yourself doing at the library and how I can help you.

What activities, sports, clubs, etc. are you involved with?

What library tasks are you interested in helping out with?

Craft prep, decorations, artsty stuff, etc.
Helping out during library programs for kids.
Working with books & materials (i.e. sorting, shelving, weeding, organizing, etc.)
Clerical (i.e. copying, laminating, folding brochures, etc.)
Something else – I have an idea!

What did you have in mind?

If you have ideas, I’d love to hear them!

What off-site service contributions are you interested in? *

Write book reviews for YA or middle grade novels.
Creating themed book lists,
Creating posts for our TAG Instagram account – @veronaplnjteens
Evaluating library websites and comparing them to ours.
Not interested off-site service.
Something else – I have an idea!

These are self-paced, asynchronous tasks you can do whenever you like.

Tell me, tell me!

If you have ideas, I’d love to hear them!

For our devoted library lovers, there are even more ways to make a difference at the library. Check off what you might be interested in.

Plan and host a children’s program. (With help from a librarian!)
Think up and put together craft kits for children. (The library will provide the supplies!)

If you have any questions, or if there's anything else you need me to know – here's the space.
