Parents need you to get out of the house? The library needs volunteers! Most teens need service hours to graduate. Sign up to be a Library “Volunteen.” Our teen volunteers are so helpful to the library. Over the summer, we schedule weekly hours during which teens and their friends can volunteer together. Fill out a volunteer application and get your parent’s signature.

What do Library Volunteens do?

• You will learn how to clean, edge, and pick books for displays
• Help get ready for programs, and assist during large programs
• You can work in groups with your friends, this is not a silent activity, although library rules apply.
• Upon request you will receive a letter for your school notifying them of service hours completed.
• Do a good job and Susan will be able to write you a recommendation for a job and/or a college application.
• Every four hours which you volunteer you will receive an entry to our drawing to win summer reading prizes!

This program is intended for 6th-12th grade. For additional information, please contact Susan at susang@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 3400.
