Teen Volunteer Group

The Teen Volunteer Group is a group of teens from Bartholomew County who meet monthly with the Teen Libarian to advise on matters of teen services, programming, selection of teen materials, event planning, and more. To join, just attend the next meeting (these are typically held the last Monday of the month).

DIGITAL RESOURCES

  

Are you seeking a dose of love and self care?

Sign up for our Teen Book Boxes!

These monthly boxes mirror subscription services like OwlCrate or LootCrate, except our boxes are FREE!
Each month, you will receive a box filled with 2-3 library books selected based on your preferences along with other goodies like bookmarks, crafts, small self-care items, snacks, and handwritten notes from Teen Services staff.
CURRENT BOX: July 2025
THEME: Fairy Tales & Dragons
REGISTRATION OPEN through July 15, 2025 (OR WHILE SUPPLIES LAST*)
You MUST register by 07/15/2025 to receive a July box. Your box will be available in July.
We are no longer accepting registration for the June box. If you registered for a June box, you will receive your box by the end of the month.
Your registration does not renew automatically. You MUST register for each month's box. 
This program is only available for teens in grades 7-12.
