    • Volunteer at the library this summer and make a difference. Volunteering is a great way to contribute to your community, develop new skills, and earn service hours. During June and July, you’ll help with the popular Summer Library Club by signing up patrons and presenting rewards when they complete activities. 


      If you’ll be in grades 7–12 for the 2026-27 school year, apply to be a Junior Volunteer! Applications will be open between 9 AM Tuesday, April 7, and 9 PM Tuesday, April 14. 


       Volunteers will be chosen via lottery from all qualified and completed applications.
      Priority given to Vernon Area card holders.
      All accepted volunteers will receive an email from the library no later than Friday, May 1.


       More information available on our website. Applications available now! Apply online now through April 14: https://guides.vapld.info/teenvolunteers
