Be a part of what we do at the Tinley Park Public Library

Teen Volunteering Club

Due to the upcoming renovation of the Youth Services floor and a temporary reduction in programming for children & families, the teen volunteer club is on hiatus. We hope to return next summer in addition to the Summer Reading Challenge Volunteer program. In the meantime, you can sign up to be a Teen Virtual Volunteer.

Virtual Volunteering Opportunities

Please note that individual organizations may have rules regarding virtual volunteering. Some organizations may not accept virtual volunteering toward their requirement or may place limits on the number of hours allowed to be virtual. Please check with your organization as these rules may vary. To be a virtual volunteer, please fill out a virtual volunteer application.

Teen Book Reviews

Teens who enjoy reading and writing can recommend titles to other book-loving teens by writing reviews for service hours. The reviews will appear in whole or part on the library’s website, social media, and in print resources at the library. These may include recommended reading lists, Facebook and Instagram posts, signs in the library, etc. When you sign up to be a virtual volunteer with the application above, you will receive an email with the password to access this form to submit your reviews. The password will change every quarter.

Teen Book Lists

Teens can compose lists of 20 books based on provided themes. These lists will primarily be used to help us create book displays for teens in the library. Some lists may be used to create theme-based bibliographies or book recommendations. When you sign up to be a virtual volunteer with the application above, you will receive an email with the password to access this form to submit your reviews. The password will change every quarter.
