Teens looking for a way to give back to your community and gain valuable experience at the same time? Need hours for an honor society or graduation requirement? Consider joining our Volunteen Program at the Poughkeepsie Public Library! Our program provides teens with the opportunity to assist with a variety of tasks, such as shelving books, helping with programs, and more.
REQUIRED: All library volunteers, including teens, must be certified in the NYS Sexual Harassment Prevention Training. This is an online training that will take 15-30 minutes to complete.
Additionally, the Friends of PPLD always need volunteers to help at the Friends’ Book Store located behind the Boardman Road Branch Library.
