Teen Advisory Group (TAG) and Maker Group |
| Help us shape the programs and services offered in the library! Teen Advisory Group (TAG) members work on projects that are always different as the work is often based on members' interests. Some of the work we've done in the past include literary projects, such as book displays, contests and reviews, and we also have a Maker Group that focuses on emerging technologies. Teens are welcome to join both groups to maximize volunteer hour potential. Meetings happen twice a month on Wednesday evening from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Volunteers must be between 13-18 years old. |
Reading Buddies volunteer mentor |
| Help a young reader develop an interest in books and literature! You will mentor your Reading Buddy online via Zoom as you engage and motivate them to read. You will develop mentoring skills, and make a positive difference in your community. Volunteers must be 14 years or older. Both teen and adult volunteers are welcome. This program runs online from Sept - June. |
Chess in the library volunteer |

Chess in the library runs every Saturday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteers must be between 13 to 18 years old.
