The Stillwater Public Library is looking for young volunteers to help with the fun and popular summer reading program.  Several dozen assistants are needed to staff the children’s registration desk throughout June and July.

“Our young volunteers are an essential part of developing a successful children’s summer program,” said Sue Busch, children’s librarian.  “Not only are the volunteers a big help, but they also help the younger children get excited about coming to the library.”

Volunteers will be paired at the registration desk to assist with registering new reading club members, taking club member’s reading lists, and recording coupons earned by each club member.  Volunteers will also be given special tasks by the children’s librarians like shelving picture books and preparing story time crafts.

“It is a big responsibility,” said Busch.  “Volunteers need to be able to commit to a regular schedule of two hours per week for two months, but it also a lot of fun and full of rewards.”

Young adults who have completed the fifth grade can be pick up an application at the children’s Help Desk or downloaded a copy online.  Applications should be returned to the library as soon as possible so that work schedules can be arranged.
