It's Sunday 2:40 AM — The Library is currently closed
The Teen Volunteer Application is closed.
If you have questions about volunteering, feel free to email us at youthservices@montclairlibrary.org and we’ll get back to you. Parents & Guardians: Please do not reach out on behalf of your teens. They will be responsible for managing their own schedules and honoring their volunteer obligations, and that starts with sending their own emails.
In order to volunteer at the Library, you must be a 7th through 12th grade student, and you must live or attend school in Montclair. You must inform the Youth Services Department if your availability changes or if you are no longer able to volunteer at the Library.
If you need additional hours, here is a list of other volunteer opportunities in and around Montclair.
The Library also has volunteer opportunities once a month from 4 – 6pm that are open to all teens in the Montclair area. Please check the Library Calendar to see the schedule.
Teens are responsible for providing paperwork for volunteer service verification. Library Staff is available to fill out and sign forms, but we do not provide the forms themselves. If you have questions, reach out to your school and service organization for assistance.
The Teen Advisory Board is currently full and is no longer accepting applications.
The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) is a group of teens who participate in and influence the functioning of the Library, with a focus on teen programming and teen Library materials. TAB is a forum to have your opinions and suggestions heard, and it is an opportunity to earn additional volunteer hours.
TAB meets the first Wednesday of every month from September to May, and meeting attendance is mandatory.
Teen Book Lists are two page documents that highlight books under a specific theme. They’re a great way to find new books to read and new genres to explore.
And now, you can create your own book lists for volunteer credit! This opportunity is open to all 7th to 12th grade students in the Montclair area.
Carefully read the instructions here before creating your book list.
