Interested in Volunteering for Children's Programs?
Pre-School and
Toddler Story Times
We are always looking for talented people
to join our team of volunteer storytellers.
We
look for volunteers over the age of seventeen
who enjoy young children and children’s literature,
and who have clear, expressive reading voices. Current
volunteers are teachers, parents, grandparents,
book lovers and other creative people.
Story Time is a half--hour program of stories
and activities that introduce preschoolers and toddlers to the delights
of the library. Story times are held on various weekday mornings
at the Blaine, Deming, Everson, Ferndale, Lummi Island, Lynden, Maple
Falls, and Point Roberts Libraries. Volunteers sign
up for as many sessions as their time allows (once a week, once a
month,
once a
quarter,
etc).
The library supports the volunteer program
with an initial training session, yearly workshops, a story
time handbook, a theme handbook, and a special collection of books,
puppets, flannel stories, and more.
To
volunteer, please
follow the steps outlined on our flyer. Questions?
Call Theresa Hadley at 384-3150, ext. 256 or talk to your local
librarian.
Programs for Grade
School Children
To volunteer call
Tammy LaPlante at 384-3150, ext. 219 or talk to your local librarian.
Volunteers for grade school programs share
their talents, knowledge, or special interests in hour-long after-school
or Saturday programs at any of our branch libraries.
If they wish to, volunteers can create
their own programs in consultation with the Youth Services staff. Past
volunteers have shared their expertise in programs such as arts and
crafts, beekeeping, robots, miniatures, animals and science.
We are also looking for volunteers who
are willing to host a program created by the staff or to assist the
staff with programs. Opportunities of this kind include mask
making, holiday crafts, and assisting at puppet shows.
