To provide an opportunity for teens and preteens in grades 6th - 12th to volunteer, the Tavares Public Library has created virtual volunteering.

Teens and preteens in grades 6 - 12 are invited to read and review books in exchange for volunteer hours.
For every fully filled-out recommendation form, teens will receive 2 hours of volunteering time.

Virtual volunteering hours will be logged by the Tavares Public Library. Teens may obtain a certificate of volunteer hours by emailing Carl Simple, Teen Coordinator, at csimple@tavares.org or by calling the Tavares Public Library at 352-742-6204. Audiobooks count too.

Open to all teens regardless of location. Please confirm with the school/organization you are seeking volunteer hours for that this type of volunteering is acceptable.

Follow the Tavares Public Library on social media to see your reviews (reviews may be edited for space).
