Opportunity Details

Kick Off Summer Reading! (age 14+) *Stand Together Week*

It's the last day of school in Hillsboro, which makes it a great day to get started with Summer Reading at the library! We're going to kick off a summer of books and fun with music-themed games, crafts, and activities. Volunteers will run the craft and activity stations and help the kids start their summer reading adventures. Every kid who signs up for Summer Reading will get a free book to take home!

We're looking for kid-loving volunteers to host game, craft, and activity stations during our annual summer reading kick-off party. It's a great way to share your love of reading with kids, and Spanish speaking volunteers are especially welcome! The project time includes 30 minutes to set up and 30 minutes to clean up--the party itself will be 2-4pm. Parking is available at the library, as well as the overflow lot at the northwest corner of 9th and Maple.

Hillsboro Public Library enriches and strengthens our community by supporting the pursuit of connection, inspiration, and lifelong learning. We provide library cards, special events, and activities for residents of Hillsboro and the entire metro area, with a special focus on early literacy and providing students with the materials and resources they need to learn and succeed.
