Do you love the library? The Curtis Library is looking for some students to assist in fun projects on our Teen Advisory Committee. Not only do you get to give back to your community and have fun, you earn volunteer hours too!
Example projects:
Sort and test board games. Research new board games and give recommendations for purchase.
Review books and write about them. Check Booktok, Goodreads, and other social media platforms for popular books and report back to the teen librarian.
Create social media content for Curtis teens (book trailers, Instagram posts, etc.).
Share your skills with the community and teach a class to younger kids or adults with the teen librarian.
Brainstorm fun ideas for crafts, projects, movies, etc. to offer at the library.
Interested students should email me directly: jkelly@curtislibrary.com
