Teen Community Service

Group & Independent Teen Community Service Opportunities
Are you an East Providence student in grades 6-12 who needs community service?
We offer the following opportunities!

Community Service Programs (Group):

*Note* There will be no Drop-In Community Service in December 2024.

Sessions will resume January 7, 2025.

Can’t get to Fuller? That’s okay.

Stop by LIMBO at the Weaver Library for additional community service options.

Book Reviews (Independent):

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

  • Choose a book from the young adult collection at the Weaver or Riverside Branch Library (Juvenile chapter books are also acceptable for students in grades 6-8)
  • Get your choice approved by our Teen Librarian (email to dskeldon@eplib.org)
  • Write an original review of at least 150 words to help other teens find a great book to read
  • Format your submission with your name and the chosen title at the top followed by your review of at least 150 words

Remember, we already have summaries of our books. We are excited to hear your reviews! We want to know what you thought about the book, and why. Give us details. Spill the tea!

You will earn three hours of service for each approved submission (limit two per student, per school year). Keep in mind that summaries will not be accepted.

Submit your finished review along with the form below to Danielle Skeldon, Teen Librarian, at dskeldon@eplib.org.

Forms must be completed and all submissions approved before service hours will be given.

IT CAN TAKE UP TO 7-10 DAYS TO GET YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE VERIFICATION. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.

Please call or email our teen services librarian Danielle at 401-434-2453 /dskeldon@eplib.org to get your hours if you have not cashed out from drop-in community service. If you have done independent work, please submit it at least 1 week before you need to hand in your verification sheet.
