Attention teens! The Columbus Public Library is seeking volunteers to help with the Summer Library Program. Volunteers will help library staff to prep, set up, assist, and clean up summer kids programs. You will become an integral part of the Summer Library Program team, helping hundreds of kids throughout the summer have fun at the library. You might help mix bubble solution, or set up an obstacle course. Another day you may help kids glue on googly eyes or paint a picture.

If accepted to the volunteer program, you will choose which day to commit to volunteering and that will be "your day" throughout the program. Shifts will be Tuesdays from 12:45-3:00, Thursdays from 2:45-5:00, and/or Fridays depending on schedules. You must be able to volunteer for 7 of the 10 weeks of the Summer Library Program to be eligible. For example, you might pick Tuesdays to volunteer, and you will be expected to help out with at least 7 of the 10 Tuesdays of the summer. That would provide you approximately 16-23 service hours for the summer to put on future resumes or add to service club memberships. Additional shifts such as the kick off and end of summer events will also be available. Teens entering grades 6-12 are encouraged to apply.

We’re starting a new series for families: game night! Once a month, join other families to play board games and tabletop games at the library. All ages are welcome, and any family friendly game can be played. We’ll have a pile of games available to try at the library, but you should bring along you family’s favorites and teach the group! At our first game night, we’ll pull out Guess Who and Ticket to Ride as our featured games, or maybe we’ll end up playing something even cooler if you bring it along. The possibilities are endless, and fun is sure to be had by all.

Next Family Game Night:
Wednesday, May 8, 6-8pm
All Ages Welcome
