Library Volunteers
The Volunteer Process
Thank you for volunteering in our library! We wouldn't be able to do what we do without YOU!
First things first. Clearances are REQUIRED when volunteering in the library.
Here is a link where you can find information about how to get that process started.
Second, take a moment to click on the volunteer Sign up Genius for your child's grade level to select a time to come in and read to the class.
Be sure to click on the correct tab for your child's class at the top of the page.
Helpful Hint:
It is easier to see these tabs when opening the sign up genius on a tablet or computer rather than on a mobile phone.

If you have difficulties with the sign up, please contact Kris Thompson
What to Expect
-
Don't be nervous. The kids LOVE having parents come in to read to them; they will be thrilled that you are here.
-
No need to bring your own book. We have pre-selected titles from our collection that are directly connected with the curriculum or are seasonally appropriate. You will choose several titles that interest you from those pre-approved books in your child's grade level bin.
If you don't feel comfortable reading aloud, you can help with other things! Just let us know. A few things you can do include...
-
Helping students locate a book using their browsing sticks.
-
Helping students search for a book on Destiny (our online catalog).
-
Monitoring students at the Makerspace stations and providing assistance as needed.
-
Being an extra set of hands, eyes, and ears.
