Volunteers needed for Tutoring Program at the Library

Math and Reading Buddies, a new peer tutoring program at the Monroe Township Library, individually pairs high school volunteers with elementary school students who need help with their math or reading skills.

If you need community service hours or activities for a college application and like kids, this may be the opportunity for you!

Vote in the Teens' Top Ten!

Voting is now open in the Teens' Top Ten!

What is the Teens' Top Ten? Teens' Top Ten is a "teen choice" list, where teens nominate and choose their favorite books of the previous year! Books are nominated by members of teen book groups in fifteen school and public libraries around the country. Nominations are posted during National Library Week, and teens across the country vote on their favorite titles each year. Readers ages twelve (12) to eighteen (18) can vote right here, online, anytime between Aug. 24 and Sept. 18, 2009.

Winners will be announced in a webcast featuring WWE Superstars and Divas at www.ala.org/teenstopten during Teen Read Week, Oct. 18-24.
