Bridgewater Library's 2017 Summer Teen Volunteer Program
Bridgewater Library is looking for volunteers this summer! Volunteers will shelve books, assist during programs, and sign up children and teens for our summer reading club. Summer volunteer opportunities are for teens entering 7th to 12th grade in the 2017-2018 school year. Two references are required for all new teen volunteers. Please use paper reference forms instead of electronic reference forms due to the large size of our program.
Applications for Bridgewater Library's 2017 Summer Teen Volunteer Program are now available at our Youth Services Reference Desk, and will be due by 5 PM on Saturday, April 29. No exceptions for late applications. You can download our application by clicking here.
