Teen Volunteer Opportunities

Glen Rock students in grades 6 - 12 are welcome to participate in our Teen Volunteer program. The following opportunities are available:

  • Shelf Reader -
    Do you like to keep things neat and in order? This is the job for you! 

    "Adopt" a section of the library to maintain throughout the summer by making sure all items are in their correct order and the shelves are kept looking tidy. 

    Use this link to sign up and choose which section(s) of the library you would like to adopt. You can sign up for up to 5 sections. Once you've signed up, you will need to meet in-person with Kristen, our Teen Librarian, for an overview of the shelf-reading process before you can begin. This is required for everyone, even if you have volunteered as a shelf reader in the past. 

    After your initial meeting with Kristen, you may volunteer any time the library is open. Scheduling is flexible, but you should plan to commit to a minimum of 2 hours each week. 

  • Color A Smile - looking for last-minute volunteering opportunities? This is perfect for you! Visit the reference desk to pick up a coloring page, color it at the library, and return it to the reference desk for volunteer time. Completed pages will be mailed to Color A Smile, “a nonprofit organization that distributes cheerful drawings to nursing homes, hospitals, meals on wheels programs, our troops overseas, and anyone in need of a smile.” Spend 15 minutes, a half hour, an hour or two at the library coloring to make a difference!

    • No need to sign up in advance. Stop in anytime we are open. All pages & materials need to be returned to the reference desk by 8:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays; and 4:30pm on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays.

    • To earn volunteer time, coloring pages should be completed in the library.
