Teen Volunteering

Get involved with your library

  • Apply to be a Teen Reviewer and write reviews for books, movies and more! 
  • Become a member of the Teen Advisory Group.
  • The Friends of the Library are a community volunteer organization responsible for operating two seasonal book sales each year that provide fundraising support to the Library system. Volunteering with the Friends of the Library is a great way to achieve your Community Service hours!
  • Are you 15 years or older and looking to volunteer at the Library? Join our Reading Buddies team and provide reading support to a child in primary school. For more information, please contact Michelle Dicaire at mdicaire@oshawalibrary.on.ca. Teens who volunteer can earn community service hours towards their high school diploma.
