Announcements, Reminders, & News!

September is Library
Card Sign-Up Month!

Teens and tweens (grades 7-12) who sign up for a library card OR update their expired library card during the month of September can pick out a free book (to keep!) from our stash of prize books! Once you get a library card or update your card at the Circulation Desk, find a Youth Services staff member (Evan, Izzy, or Pamela) to claim your prize.

Join Our Teen Advisory Board!

First meeting of the school year:
Wednesday, October 8th, 6:00pm-7:00pm

The Teen Advisory Board (grades 7-12) meets once a month for an hour to make plans for library programs and the Teen Space (and to eat pizza!). TAB members earn community service hours for their participation. If you would like to join, pick up an application from the Children’s Desk or contact Evan directly: [email protected] or 413-789-1550 ext. 3.

Seeking Teen Volunteers
for the Fall!

We are looking for five teens to volunteer for 1 hour a week in the Children’s Room during October and November. Please pick up a volunteer application in the Children’s Room and submit it on or before September 19th. If we receive more than five applications, we’ll choose the volunteers at random. If you’re already on our volunteer waitlist, you’ll be included in the Fall Volunteer applicant pool! We’ll have new groups of volunteers for the winter months (December-February) and for the spring months (March-May), so there will be opportunities for everyone who wants to volunteer.
