When the Youth Services team at our South High branch realized some of their teens have a hard time with reading, they decided to do something about it...and now they need YOUR help. We have a program for young readers, but we need patient adults willing to work weekly with teens to help them sharpen their literacy skills. If you have an hour a week in the early evening (6 p.m.), then we need you at our South High branch. A high school diploma is required.
