Want To Volunteer?

There are three ways that teens can help the Winter Park Public Library and earn volunteer hours doing so.

2. You can also earn up to 20 volunteer hours from home by writing book reviews for You Said It, our teen book review page. Click here for full details.

3. Our Teen Advisory Board meets twice a month to advise the YA Librarian on programs and materials to offer to the Library's teen patrons. Members receive volunteer service hours for attending meetings and participating in service activities that TAB conducts. Click here to find out when our next meeting is scheduled.
