Teen Book Reviewer
Are you looking for a fun way to volunteer from home? San José Public Library is looking for avid readers interested in writing book reviews. Each book you review counts as one hour of volunteering. There is a minimum requirement of two written book reviews per month through August 31st, 2021.
How You Will Make a Difference
Teen Book Reviewers play a pivotal role in encouraging other teens to read the same fun books from our library catalog that you're reading.
Volunteers are needed to:
- Write a book review following these guidelines
- Book review must be 2-3 paragraphs long
- Include a short summary of the book
- Write about what you liked or disliked about the book

- Send your review to a designated librarian who will ensure it meets the guidelines and get back to you.
- Once you hear from the librarian, post your review on our library catalog, sjpl.bibliocommons.com
- Give it an Age rating and a Star rating

- Send the librarian a screenshot of your review, and BOOM! You’ve just earned an hour of volunteer service
