VolunTeen Appreciation
Allen Public Library accepts an average of 100 teenage volunteers each summer to become VolunTeens - an indispensable part of our summer programming. VolunTeens assist with story times, summer programs and with our Summer Reading Clubs.
Friends of the Allen Library supports the VolunTeen program by sponsoring the End of Summer VolunTeen Party, an exciting evening of food, games and appreciation. In 2015, the Friends instituted a second sponsorship of the VolunTeens with the VolunTeen Appreciation party, and event which honors the 70 teenagers who volunteer during the school year, and gives special recognition to the graduating senior VolunTeens.
