The Sussex County Library System is accepting applications from teen volunteers, ages 14-17, to assist with the library’s summer reading program: All Together Now: Kindness, Friendship and Unity.
Applications are available online at sussexcountylibrary.org/summer2023/ or by stopping in at a local branch.
All volunteers will be required to register for and attend an orientation at their preferred location. Times, dates and locations are available through the Events link at sussexcountylibrary.org
“The teens are always a great help in assisting families at registration, setting up programs and helping younger children with crafts,” said youth services coordinator Deb Fagnan. “If they have a special interest, like robotics, we work with them to create additional programming that they lead.”
The summer reading program kicks off June 24 with unique programs at each location and runs through July 29.
In addition to volunteering, teens are encouraged to participate by reading books, earning raffle tickets and entering to win prizes.
