Meet the Main Library's Teen Squad Volunteers

by Becca, Main Library

If you've been following our posts this summer, you're probably starting to wonder "Gosh, just how many volunteers does The City Library have?" That's a good question. This year we have just over 80 incredible teen volunteers, and that's not counting the adult volunteers that help out from time to time at our branches. Neat right? Read on to meet the Teen Squad volunteers working at the Main Library this summer.
​

My name is Grace Silge! This is my 5th year as a Teen Squad volunteer, and I'm so excited to be back again! I love reading and the library, and am always so happy to be able to help out with Teen Squad. I am sixteen years old and a rising junior at West High. I love crafting, computer science, theatre, and my two cats, Hermione and Leia.

​Hi! I'm Maddie and I'll be a junior at Highland High School. I like playing board games and making art (especially zines). I have seen just about every romcom and love 90's sitcoms.

Hi! My name is Trin-Aber, I’m 16 years old and go to Highland High School. I’ve done teen squad 5 times now (school year and summer) and I love reading. I enjoy painting and drawing, and I have a tendency to binge watch the shows I get really into. I also make Marvel references on the regular and generally am a fantasy nerd.

My name is Madeline, I have three sisters and they are all younger. I love to swim and read romance novels. I am super excited for next school year and going to Italy!

My name is Parker B West, I’m interested in politics, the world at large, and books! I joined Teen Squad because it seemed fun to meet new people and contribute to the library this summer. I want to know more about the world and why things are the way they are! This summer I have had a great time in Teen Squad and hope to do it again next summer!

I love to read and spend time outside with my friends. I desperately want a kitten and my favorite book is the goldfinch. :)

I love rock climbing, hiking, reading, math, and science. My favorite genre of books is science fiction and my favorite Artist is Taylor Swift. I just finished reading Wakers by Orson Scott Card. I joined teen squad because I wanted to help make the city library an even better resource for the community and get kids into reading. I have been signing people up for the super summer challenge and I am working on making take-home science kits for kids.

Many thanks to the rest of our Main Library Teen Squad crew!
