Need Community Service Hours?

Do you need more community service hours for school?
Florence Public Library has opportunities for you!  Come by and see Ms Tina for an application.  We love to help you earn those hours!
  You may wonder what type of things you can do at the library, well, you'd be surprised!  You can shelve books...... and preview them as you do.

You may be asked to "read" the shelves (put them in order).
You might be asked to help to decorate for that month, and boy can you get into some fun doing that!
You may have the opportunity to become part of our teen advisory board, Teens In Action (TIA for short).

 During the summer you may help sign in children in that day's Summer Reading Program.  You could take pictures or hand out items.   Assistance may be needed to get the children seated.

You may need to do some work on the computer, review a new game, help set up a room for an up coming program!  Sometimes you may be asked to attend a YA (Young Adult) program and share your input on it.

We have even had some volunteers that enjoyed putting new plants in the flower beds, moving the rock boarder, picking up trash, or pulling weeds!

Whatever job or jobs you do.  No matter if you only need a few more hours or a couple of hundred, we can always find a spot for you.  I look forward to meeting you soon!
