The Junior Volunteer (JV) Program is sponsored by the Friends of Clapp Memorial Library. Students who will be entering 7th through 12th grade in the fall may apply for a position as a JV.

Students selected for the JV program will volunteer 12-16 hours throughout the summer. Volunteer tasks may include helping younger children with the summer reading program, at special library events under the supervision of the library’s staff, by using the copier and shelving books, by decorating, by acting as a “Reading Buddy” for younger children and/or by assisting at a story time/children’s activity, by sharing a special talent, and more.

Wowbrary regularly tells you about your chosen public library’s newest books, movies and music – chosen especially for teens.

This service make it easy for you to browse through the latest additions and place a hold on a new title.

The Clapp Memorial Library hosts creative writing programs called “Teen Write Nights” throughout the year, most notably throughout November as part of the library’s annual program for young writers during National Novel Writing Month. Teen Write Nights are a great opportunity for teen writers to get feedback, build community, participate in writing exercises, and grow their word count! Young writers can e-mail [email protected] for more information about the program and to register.
