Teen Volunteers
* School Year Volunteers * Book Review Bloggers * Summer Reading Volunteers
Our School Year Teen Volunteer program runs from September through June for New Providence residents in 8-12th grades. If you'd like to volunteer, you must complete a new application each year and attend one training session per year.
Training for Spring 2024 is now complete.
If you missed the training dates or are in 6th or 7th grade and would like to earn volunteer hours, you can volunteer to write a book review for our Teen Book Review Blog.
Book Review Bloggers
Book reviews serve the community by helping others find the right reading materials. If you love to read and want to share your opinions, you can join our Teen Book Review Crew! All you need to do is read a book in the library's YA or Adult fiction collections, and do a write-up including a brief summary and your opinions. A few times a year, the library receives ARC books, which are Advanced Reader Copies of books that haven't yet been published. First dibs on ARCs go to existing Teen Book Reviewers. You'll submit all reviews and edits via email, making this a great opportunity for teens with busy schedules. Finished reviews will be published right here on the library's Book Review Blog on our website!

Volunteer opportunities are for New Providence residents with a New Providence Library Card.
* Parents, please help us teach teens valuable communication skills by having your teen email me directly. Teens are always encouraged to CC a parent and I will reply to all.
