About this role

What you would do

Livingston Public Library runs its teen volunteers through a Youth Services program that puts them alongside librarians and young readers. Once you are accepted for the volunteer year, you pick your own shifts from an on-demand board, so the schedule bends around school. The library also runs a Teen Advisory Board and a Teen Partnership Application for teens who want to lead a program of their own.
