Verona Public Library runs a teen volunteer program for students who live in or attend school in the township. Most of the work supports children's programs and keeps the shelves in order. Volunteers pick their own shifts from a schedule posted each quarter. Larger events like NJ Makers Day in March and Fall-o-ween in October need bigger groups.
