Local Girl scout Troop 28212 has been graciously donating their time to the library. Many of the girls have been volunteering and helping to relabel our books in the teen section as well as suggest new programming and ideas for the new library. In addition to this, each of them have donated the materials for a lasting initiatives within the teen section. They also hosted their own programs for local teens!
Maggie created bookmark making kits and graffiti boards that other teens can use to connect; in addition to this she also led her own bookmark making program!
Olivia spent several hours re-stickering the teen section, making program suggestions and assisting in programs. She also donated a crochet kit, tiny canvases and recipe cards.
Luna refurbished a gumball machine, acquired her own capsules and filled each one with a writing prompt. The machine is completely free to use and located in the teen section.
Elena volunteered her time re-stickering the teen department, making book recommendations, and assisted with programming. She also sewed reusable "blind date with a book" kits with recommendation forms!
The Alabaster Library, and particularly the Teen Librarian, is so very appreciative for everything they have done- they have made a lasting difference at their local library.
