Teen Volunteer Opportunities at the Library
Book Buddies
For middle-school students in Grades 6-8.
Read a book to a child to encourage their love of reading!
You must be punctual, committed and reliable.
This is a year-round program.
Teen Book Review
Teens can submit up to three book reviews a month, each review is worth 3 hours of community service.
Book reviews are used on the Teen Instagram to promote books to other teens.
Food Donations
Bring in three non-perishable food items to the Carnegie Library and receive one hour of community service (limit one hour per week). All food items will be used to stock our food shelf at the Main Building where patrons can take what they need.
Care Package Donations
Pack a ziploc bag with five personal care items to receive two hours of community service a month. Bags can be dropped off at the Carnegie Library. These bags will go on our food shelf in the Main Building where patrons can take what they need. Examples of personal care items you can put in your bags are: toothpaste, toothbrushes, bars of soap, mouthwash, deodorant, first aid items, and feminine care items.
