Summer Reading 2012: Reading is So Delicious!

Monday, June 11 - Saturday, July 28, 2012

Can I volunteer?  What do Teen Volunteers do?
Teens going into grades 7 and above can apply to be a Teen Volunteer at the
Summer Reading Desk.  Volunteer shifts start Monday, June 11 and end
Saturday, July 28, 2012.  Volunteers must be available for at least 4 of the 7 weeks.
Teen volunteers help kids and teens get the right reading log, register kids and teens
for the Summer Reading Program, and (the best part!) hand out Summer Reading prizes.
We may also ask for help with things like alphabetizing registration cards.

How do I apply?
Teens can visit the Youth Services Desk to pick up a Teen Volunteer Application,
or click here to download the Teen Volunteer Application and print at home.
Teens must complete their own application and return it to the Youth Services Desk by Wednesday, May 23, 2012.  Late applications will not be accepted.

What happens next?
Applications will be reviewed by the volunteer coordinator.  
Teens will be notified by email (or by phone if no email address is listed on the application) by Wednesday, May 30, 2012 whether or not they have been selected
as a Teen Volunteer.  All Teen Volunteers must attend a mandatory training session on Wednesday June 6 at 6:30 p.m. or Thursday, June 7 at 2:00 p.m.  
The Volunteer Schedule and information about the Summer Reading Program
will be given out at training.
