I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM, FOR ICE CREAM PARTY COORDINATOR(S)

Party Coordinators Needed!

The Summer Reading Program is a statewide program that encourages kids to read (and be read to) throughout the summer. Typically the program has a kick-off in June (run by Children's Librarian Jennifer Whitehead), with a celebration scheduled during the second week of August for all children who complete the program successfully (read for at least 8 hours and complete a short book report or review).

Many of the duties of the volunteer Coordinator(s) center around the program-ending celebration in August, and include:

• Coordinate food selection and paper goods;
• Delegate tasks to volunteers;
• Thank all those who donated their time, money and supplies;
• Prepare Book Sale Gift Certificates for Junior Volunteers.
  

The Friends of Clapp Memorial Library provide financial support for this party, so there won't be any soliciting of donations necessary. It would be optimal if the new Coordinators started in April/May.

If you are interested in learning more about the positions, please contact the Friends ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or call the library at (413) 323-0417.
