Is your teen looking to earn volunteer hours this school year?  Write reviews for your favorite books. Receive volunteer/community service hours to count towards graduation requirements, National Honor Society requirements and more!

To start, simply choose a book to read. We would prefer that you select a book from our collection, but feel free to choose any book that you feel strongly about. Next, write a compelling, well-written review of the book that you chose. Incomplete or un-edited work will be sent back to the submitter to be re-done. Please note that your review doesn’t have to be positive, so just be honest.

Make sure you have submitted your Community Service Volunteer Application and background checks in order to qualify for community service hours. Email these to hholst@mclinc.org.  Finally submit your work via this Google Form.

Each review is worth 1 volunteer hour with a 300 word minimum and 400 word maximum. Once your review has been posted, you will receive the volunteering credit.

Attention: Please complete a Community Service Volunteer Application before submitting a review. Links for this can be found at the end of this Google Form. Anyone aged 14-17  must complete the following:

These are free for volunteers. Due to high demand, we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate everyone.
Those seeking volunteer hours for the National Honors Society should consider having one or more backup locations in order to obtain all required hours. Hours are first come, first served, so submit your applications as soon as possible!

Miss Kate’s Early Literacy Line Up!

Join us on Tuesdays for “Babies in the Library” in the Community Room. 

Set your baby up for literary success by visiting the library from a young age.  Parents and caregivers teach language through stories and songs, which eventually leads to reading!  During this 30 minute program, we sing songs using sensory objects like shaker eggs and scarfs.  Program is aimed at 0-2 years old.  After the structured story time and songs, we’ll have a “Stay and Play” portion for caregivers and babies to socialize informally.  Registration Required.  Space is limited to 10 families.  Link to register is live a week before program date.  Registration closes a day before event at 12pm or when maximum number is reached.

We will be offering two Babies in the Library story times to accommodate program popularity and age range needs.  Join Miss Kate at 10:15 for a program geared towards babies up to crawling stage.  Then at 11:15am, Miss Kate will have another story time for older babies who are walking and up to age 2.  Please only register for one program each week as the goal is to provide more programming opportunities to meet community demand.  We thank you for our patience as we transition to the best programming fit for the community.
