MENTORS AND VOLUNTEERS

A cartoon girl sits at a desk, using a computer with a glowing screen.High school students enroll to be a mentor in the library media center.  Allen Community College students may be a mentor as part of their work study program. Mentors read books to our first grade students, help them take Accelerated Reader quizzes, and shelve books during their class block. Our mentors are a vital part of our reading program!

Volunteers are always welcome in the library media center! Adults from the community read books and Accelerated Reader quizzes to our students. Volunteers may set days and times at their convenience. Our reading success is due in part to our volunteers!
