LEWISTON – Lewiston Public Library is seeking individuals between the ages of 13 and 19 to be teen library ambassadors.
Teen library ambassadors attend meetings once a month and assist with self-chosen and directed projects as informal volunteers under the supervision of the teen librarian. They advise the teen librarian on youth trends and interests in the community, helping to develop programs and events that are needs-based and better reflect local teen needs.
Meetings are 4 to 5 p.m. the fourth Monday of the month in the second-floor Teen Lounge. The first will be Monday, Sept. 26.
Teens can fill out the Google form at tinyurl.com/TLAapp or pick up an application at the second floor reference desk to join.
Opportunities both in-person and virtually include:
· Writing reviews of books, movies, comics, manga, and video games
· Taking pictures and making graphics for library social media
· Making TikTok or Reelz style videos for library social media
· Moderating discussions and running events on our LPL Teen Discord server
· Suggesting materials the library can buy for the teen library collections
· Planning virtual and in-person events, programs, competitions, tournaments
· Helping in the Children’s Room with story times, summer reading, crafts, and other programs
Teen library ambassadors are expected to keep in communication with the teen librarian via email, social media, or Discord in order to be considered active members. Any teen library ambassador who wishes to be featured identifiably in library social media promotion must first fill out a photo release form.
