South Kingstown Public Library Teens

Teen Volunteers Needed!

Summer is just starting…what are you going to do with all that free time you now have?

Here’s an idea…volunteer!

If you need volunteer hours, summer is a great time to get some done! With our summer reading program starting next week, the Peace Dale Library is in need of teen volunteers to help at programs and the summer reading desk. We have a wide number of hours and time slots that need to be filled.

If you entering Grade 7 or up, contact children’s librarian Tina Ladika at 789-1555 or tladika@skpl.org

Need Volunteer Hours? Like Kids and Books? Join the Book Buddies!

Sign ups have begun for the fall session of the Book Buddies at the Peace Dale Public Library. Beginning on February 5th at 4 p.m., the program will run consecutive Fridays through March 12th. This is a great way for students in grades 6 and up to earn community service hours.

Each week Teen Readers in grades 6 and up will meet with 3-8 year old Little Book Buddies. One on one reading is ideal, but no more than 2 Little Buddies will be assigned to a teen reader. The first 30 minutes are dedicated to reading, book selection or coloring will follow if so desired.

This is a joint program supervised by the Teen Librarian and the Children’s Librarian. Registration and a six week commitment to the program is required; register by stopping in or calling the library at 789-1555.
