Teen Volunteer Events
Teen Volunteer Events occur several times per year at the Library. They range from making cards for local senior citizens, to painting our windows, to making blankets for the SPCA. Registration is required for these events. To see what is coming up, head over to our online calendar.
On-going Volunteer Projects
Teens who can knit or crochet can sign up for two different projects. These projects occur all year long. Tap the links below to learn more and sign up.
At-Home Projects
A few times a year we open up at-home projects where teens can create craft projects at home and return them for service hours. These projects primarily support senior citizen centers - door wreaths, cards, winter decor, and more. In the past few years teens have created over 5,000 projects! To get notified about these projects, sign up for the Teen E-Newsletter (tap here).

Our volunteers are here every week, rain or shine, and work very hard for their Library.
They help us cover new books, do data entry, prepare for library programs, and perform many other tasks.
Your library wouldn't have the quality of service it has without the aid of our volunteers.
