Teens have several options for earning volunteer hours. Teens from across Anchorage can read and submit a book review or attend any of our in-person volunteer times across the library system.
In-Person Volunteering
Teens will have a chance to complete a variety of tasks at their local library ranging from creating book displays, creating art to decorate the library, dusting and other cleaning, and more. Pre-registration is not needed to attend, teens are welcome to attend as many sessions as they wish.
Loussac Library - Wednesdays from 4:00-6:00pm. Teens meet in the teen space on the 2nd floor.
Chugiak-Eagle River Library - Thursdays from 4:00-5:30pm. Teens meet at the front desk of the library.
Muldoon Library - Fridays from 3:30-5:30pm. Teens meet at the front desk of the library.
For opportunities at other locations, please contact those locations directly.
Teen Book Reviews
Is your teen looking for volunteer opportunities? Do they have opinions on a book? Teens age 12-18 can email a brief (at least 100 words) summary and review of a book they've read this year, with their name and grade to: APLTeen@anchorageak.gov
Participating teens earn 1 volunteer hour with every review submitted. Reviews have a chance to be featured on the Teen Instagram, the Anchorage Public Library website, or on a display in the teen space at Loussac Library.
