Princeton Public Library is seeking summer volunteers entering grades seven through 12 to help out with the annual summer reading clubs and other library activities.
Potential volunteers are required to attend one of four orientation sessions scheduled for 10 a.m. May 10, 4 p.m. May 13, 4 p.m. May 21 and 7 p.m. May 28. All orientation sessions will be in the library’s second floor Conference Room.
Volunteers will work with the Youth Services librarians and help the younger readers sign up for the annual summer reading program, which starts on June 16, and distribute prizes to those readers who meet the club’s goals.
Teens will also help the librarians with other tasks such as craft programs and shelving library materials. High school volunteers may be asked to accompany librarians to outreach programs at Recreation Department camps in the area.
The teens are asked to work at least 10 hours during the summer. Volunteers need to commit to a regular schedule, but the library will be flexible about working around vacations and other activities.
All volunteers will be invited to attend a thank-you dinner at the library hosted by the staff on 6:30 p.m. July 11.
Applications for interested teens can be found online at www.princetonlibrary.org/teens/volunteers or at the Youth Services desk on the third floor at the library. The deadline for applications is May 28.
Although the library welcomes all applicants, the number of volunteers accepted is limited and preference is given to library cardholders.
To register for one of the orientation sessions or for general information, call Susan Conlon or Allison Santos at 609- 924-9529, ext. 240.
