Join Jr. Friends!

Jr. Friends play a vital part in our summer reading program success...and we are looking for some more!  

If you have finished 5th grade you are old enough to help!!

Jr. Friends is a great opportunity to get volunteer hours for school or church.  There are no minimum number of hours you have to volunteer and the schedule is completely up to you!  Some Jr. Friends work several times a week, while others work 3-4 times throughout the summer.  It is up to you and your schedule the amount of time you spend volunteering.

Here are some of the things Jr. Friends do at the library:
  • Help at our reading desk to register children for our summer reading program and hand out prizes children have earned.
  • Help at our special events by setting up, cleaning up, and assisting children in activities.
  • Wear the costume for our mascot, Buzz
  • Enjoy an end-of-the-summer pool and pizza party
  • Participate in Bellevue's Arrows to Aerospace Parade

If you are interested in becoming a Jr. Friend you need to turn in an application form (with parent signature) and attend a mandatory training meeting.  Upcoming training sessions are:

Thursday, May 23rd at 11 AM
Thursday, May 23 at 2 PM
Wednesday, May 29 at 10 AM
Thursday, May 30 at 7 PM
You only need to attend ONE session; training lasts about 45 minutes.

If you would like to volunteer, but cannot attend any of the training sessions please call Mrs. B at 402-293-3158.
