Become a S.T.A.R. Volunteer!

The Morton Grove Public Library’s Youth Services Department needs student volunteers, grades seven through twelve, to help with our Summer Reading Program. The Summer Reading Program begins Monday, June 9th, and ends on Sunday, August 3rd.

Responsibilities include helping with children’s games, listening to children talk about books they read, handing out prizes, and clerical duties.

Volunteering at the Library is an excellent opportunity to fulfill community service credit for your college applications, National Honor Society, or confirmation requirements.

Simpsons Movie this Thursday

February's Teen Library Council meeting will be very different. Instead of talking about movies, music, and books we're relaxing and watching a movie. Come to the Library this Thursday to watch The Simpsons movie, eat, and hang out with your friends.

Not a part of TLC? That's ok- anyone in 7-12th grade is invited.

I'll see you in the Activity Room @ 6:00!
