The Library welcomes teens aged 12-18 years who desire to make a difference in their community. All teen applicants must complete an interview, submit the required paperwork, and pass the background screening before signing up for an opportunity or volunteering. The paperwork includes a notarized juvenile records search authorization, two letters of recommendation, and a parental permission form. All forms will be provided to the applicant after the application has been reviewed.
Youth ages 12-15 years may only volunteer as a member of the Teen Advisory Board (TAB) and/or during the Summer. TAB is offered only in-person at select branches. Youths between 16-18 years may participate in TAB and/or in different capacities in our locations.
Facilitate Dungeons and Dragons and/or other tabletop role-playing game systems for teens. Game Masters (GMs) follow their imaginations guided by the rules of a chosen TTRPG to populate fictional worlds and devise scenarios for other players to engage with using dice and roleplay.
Serve as general Library volunteer. May be asked to help with a variety of activities, including shelving, holds, arts and crafts, creating displays, quality control, organizing and sorting materials, room setup, and other tasks.
An opportunity for teens to develop leadership skills and earn volunteer credit for scholarships by participating in activities, discussing a book, and share ideas on books, programs, and services they would like to see at the Library.
