Application for 2013 Teen Volunteer Opportunities at the Princeton Public Library.
The Princeton Public Library seeks volunteers to help with our annual Summer Reading Club and other summer programming. We will need volunteers for the entirety of the program, which runs from June 21 through August 25, 2013. We ask students to volunteer between 12 and 18 hours of their time in three-hour shifts over the course of the summer.

Students grade 8 (2013-2014) through high school are eligible to participate.  

Please note that while all volunteer interest is welcome, there is a limit to the number of volunteers we are able to accommodate. Preference is given to Princeton Public Library cardholders. Resident and non-resident (fee-based) library cards may be obtained at the Check Out desk on the first floor of the library.

All applications must be submitted online using this form. Applicants who apply early may be given preference in scheduling and hours.
