Applications to become a Summer Desk Assistant are available at the Carmel Clay Public Library (CCPL) and are due May 18.

According to Hope Baugh, the Young Adult (YA) Services Manager, Summer Desk Assistants volunteer for two hours a week at the library during the summer and help the Children’s and YA departments with their Summer Reading Programs. All volunteers must be entering grades 6 through 12 for the next school year. She said via e-mail, “Space is limited so make sure to apply early.”

In regards to this volunteer opportunity, junior Tina Wang said, “I think this is generally a good (library) volunteer program because it is consistent and it kind of shows (that the volunteers) are determined. Usually the library volunteer programs are not consistent. It is kind of when you want to do it, you can do it and when you do not want to do it, you don’t have to do it. So this (volunteer opportunity) shows more determination because (volunteers) are obligated to volunteer at those set times.”
