High School and Middle School students have the opportunity to volunteer at the Middletown Free Library monthly in the Teen Space. We typically meet every Monday 6:15-8:15pm and every Wednesday 6-8pm. Volunteers can accrue service hours by helping to prepare materials for story times, book cataloging, graphic designing flyers, scavenger hunts, and other library-related projects.
