Volunteer Opportunities for Teens
Volunteer Opportunities
Contact: Angela Krajcar, Head of Youth Services 845-359-2244 x15
Or submit a volunteer application (available at the library’s front desk)
These are our ongoing opportunities, but occasionally, we have other small various tasks that need to be done. You must make arrangements to volunteer. Please do not show up expecting to be able to do hours on the spot. Thank you.
Teen Advisory Board
Help plan teen programs and make suggestions for the collection. Make your opinion count as you earn community service hours. Meets once a month on Friday from 3:30-4:30.
Teen Tech Tutor for Seniors Citizens
The Library is looking for teens to tutor Seniors on cell phones, using email, downloading pictures, blogs, Twitter and Facebook. Help others while earning community services hours. We are looking to host this program 1 or 2 times a month.
Summer Reading Program
During the children’s summer reading program, we are seeking assistants for Children’s programs. You might be preparing crafts, working with children or giving out prizes/stickers to children who participate in the reading club.
Shelf Reader
(Children’s and Adult sections) Methodically read the spine labels of books on the shelves in a designated area, to make sure they are alphabetized or in numerical order. Shelf readers help keep our books in good order, so patrons can find things easily. This job requires attention to detail, and skill at alphabetizing (are you good at looking up words in the dictionary?) and sequencing. This job also requires someone to offer their time at least once a week on a regular basis, even if just for an hour or so.

New Teen Books
Need to finish up your summer reading? Try one of these new teen books.
Jekel Loves Hyde by Beth Fantaskey
Jill Jekel has always obeyed her parents' rules--especially the one about never opening the mysterious, old box in her father's office. But when her dad is murdered, Jill enlists the help of Tristen Hyde, who has his own dark secrets.
Gimme a call by Sarah Mlynowski
After retrieving her cellphone from a fountain, high school senior Devi discovers the only person she can call is herself-three years earlier. She immediately sees this as a way to warn herself not to get involved with the boyfriend who will break her heart.
Before I fall by Lauren Oliver
A terrible accident takes Samantha Kingston's life. The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. In fact, she relives the last day of her life seven times, until she realizes that by making even the slightest changes, she may hold more power than she had ever imagined.
The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman
Elizabeth's new job at the New York Circulating Material Repository is no ordinary after school job. The repository is home to powerful items straight out of the Grimm's Fairy tales.
Bruiser by Neal Shusterman
Inexplicable events start to occur when sixteen-year-old twins Tennyson and Bronte befriend a troubled and misunderstood outcast, aptly nicknamed Bruiser, and his little brother, Cody.
The Space Between Trees by Katie Williams
