Attention 6th through 12th graders:

Do you need volunteer hours for school, National Honor Society, or college applications? Or maybe you just like helping the library! Volunteer Club is for you. We meet to work on projects in the library. You do not have to attend every session or stay for the entire time. We know that teens are busy, but any help you can give us is greatly appreciated! The next meeting is on Thursday, November 12 from 4 pm to 5 pm in Teen HQ. We will be preparing for upcoming library events.
