Youth Programs
Junior Friends of the Library
Junior Friends meet monthly during the school year to brainstorm, plan, and work on library-related service projects. Jr. Friends are library ambassadors and let our classmates, teachers, and family know about upcoming library events and resources. We plan the library's summer camps and some of us help lead. Junior Friends must earn 40 volunteer hours at the library or by participating in any of our service projects throughout the year. Library volunteer hours can be earned whenever is convenient for you. A Jr. Friend can be anyone aged 10-18 who loves reading, the library, and giving back to the community. To join Jr. Friends, sign up at the circulation desk or by phone.
