Check out the Teen Services tab for "Kat's in the Stacks" to see the type of reviews posted. Decide what you would like to recommend to other teens and write a review. Reviews should include a brief summary as well as an explanation of why you enjoyed it and want to recommend it. Reviews should be at least 300 words, although they can be longer. Email your completed review to khohlfeld@rcls.org and receive one hour of community service per accepted review! 

Create a Library Program

Do you have a great idea for a program YOU want to run at the library? Any special skills you'd like to share with your peers? Fill out this application to put your ideas into motion. The teen librarian will contact you to set up a meeting and discuss the feasibility of your program. Community service hours will be granted dependent on the time commitment of the volunteer, including filling out this application, attending a planning meeting, and running the program(s). This opportunity is only open to Nyack High School students. 

VCL's Warm Up Your Neighbor Project

Help your neighbors in need keep warm and toasty! If you like to knit, you can earn community service hours. Donate your knitted or crocheted scarves or hats to the library to receive 10 hours per item. There is a limit of two knit items per student. Donations are accepted September through March.

Drop your donations off with Katrina Hohlfeld at the library.
Open to Nyack School District students.
