Orientations set for teen volunteers

Posted: Monday, May 11, 2009, 10:26 am

Teens are encouraged to volunteer at Worthington Libraries this summer.

By becoming a Volunteen, teens can help younger children improve their reading skills, give back to the community, work in a fun environment and boost their job and college applications.

To be eligible, teens must be at least 12 years old or entering the seventh grade this fall. They must also attend one orientation session.

Orientation sessions will be held at Old Worthington Library, 820 High St.; Northwest Library, 2280 Hard Road; and Worthington Park Library, 1389 Worthington Centre Drive.

Those attending are asked to bring a tentative summer schedule, so they can sign up for shifts.

Volunteens will assist with the 2009 Summer Reading Program by registering children for the program, handing out prizes and encouraging them to keep reading all summer long.

Volunteens also help with various library programs and projects as needed.
