Welcoming Back Teen Volunteers This past summer was the start of welcoming teen volunteers back into our library since before the pandemic. This was also my first year working as a full-time teen services librarian at Mamaroneck, so I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I knew summer would be a popular time for teens wanting to volunteer at the library, but I did not think I would get as much interest as I did.
by Caroline Cunningham —
Teen Librarian, Mamaroneck Public Library
Caroline is a new librarian, earning her MLS degree this past winter. Previously she worked as a teacher’s aide in a special education
As the summer months approached, the frequency of emails and phone calls I received about volunteering started to rise quickly. One of the nearby school districts requires all of their students to complete a certain amount of volunteer hours to graduate. We developed a plan for volunteers coming into the building as well as those not comfortable coming into the building. We offered virtual community service. Teens could earn one hour of community service for writing two book or movie reviews, creating a ten-title book list on a specific topic, making a book talk or creating a book trailer. We used these on our website, the teen blog, and social media pages to help as many teens as possible. We had so much interest that we decided to create a training program before starting. We require each participant to attend a one-hour training session to go over the procedures, rules, expectations, possible activities, and information about the library. We ended up creating two training sessions to accommodate everyone. Scheduling and coming up with tasks for almost 30 volunteers to come in on a daily basis was no easy feat. You should have seen my Google Calendar!

The activities ranged from shelf reading, or going through donated books, to bigger things like doing various administrative tasks in our business office, or helping to run a children’s program. When teens filled out the volunteer applications, we asked about their interests and delivered assignments accordingly. We were not going to assign them to help out with a children’s program if that wasn’t one of their strengths. Again, we wanted to make this experience a positive one for us, as well as the teens. If they were excited and happy about what they were doing, it created a positive environment to work in.

After so many months without seeing a patron at the library because we were closed, it was amazing to see so many teens coming in to volunteer. It not only was successful for us, but they were constantly asking for more time, willing to do anything, and putting in so much hard work and some of them didn’t even need hours. It made it a great experience for us, too. They learned skills they can transfer to their first job, or other aspects of their lives.

We continued our volunteer program through the fall months on a smaller scale. We understand the need for volunteer opportunities in our community, and how important this experience has been for our teens.

IN THE MIDDLE OF NOTHINGNESS IS THE ISLAND OF SALVATION.
Reality bends easily here. Villages disappear. Forests burn forever. Pockets of inconsistent time are everywhere, their boundaries strung with yellow ribbon. And the three kingdoms of Salvation have been at war for a thousand years.

But the greatest threat is the Malice, an incursion from the demon plane slowly tearing its way through the world’s weakest seams. Not that the human world takes much interest. Of more concern is the upcoming marriage of Rune Highcrown, Prince of Caberwill, and Johanne Fortuin, Princess of Embria—the serpent bride, a girl of famous cunning— which offers a possible end to the ancient conflict. But Rune has perceived the growing darkness, and he is determined to summon mankind’s only defense: Nightrender, the hammer of the gods, an immortal warrior more weapon than girl.

ary Wilkins Ellis’s childhood passion for flying led to a career in the air. She took lessons when she was sixteen and became the youngest licensed pilot in her English county. But then her dream was dashed in 1939 when all civilian flight was banned at the start of World War II. By chance she heard a radio appeal for Britons with pilot’s licenses to join the Air Transport Auxiliary and help ferry brand-new fighter planes to Royal Air Force bases. Mary immediately applied and spent the rest of the war delivering hundreds of different kinds of aircraft—fighters, bombers, and more. Many of the planes were of new design and the pilots had to learn how to fly them through trial and error in the air. Mary formed lifelong bonds with her colleagues, survived many a close call, and helped to save her country from destruction. After the war, Mary continued to fly, running an air taxi business and then an airstrip on the Isle of Wight, the only woman in Europe to do so. In her spare time she was an amateur racecar driver. Mary’s childhood dream became a thrilling lifetime aloft, lasting until she died at the age of 101.

PUBLISHER SPOTLIGHT
Greystone Kids
Launched in 2019, Greystone Kids, an imprint of the independent publisher Greystone Books, publishes middle-grade nonfiction and picture books that encourage a sense of wonder for the natural world.
Rob Sanders —
Founder and publisher of Greystone Books
telling one of our publicists, back when we could gather at conferences, that the experience of turning the pages of our books was magic. We believe that all children deserve higher quality books: from the writing to the illustrations, design, and production. Another reason to support Greystone Kids is to support our authors and illustrators, whose hard work and creativity have led to awards and accolades. Birdsong, written and illustrated by Julie Flett in 2019, received a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor, an American Indian Youth Literature Award Honor, and a Best Book of the Year in dozens of outlets. Can You Hear the Trees Talking? by Peter Wohlleben won the Subaru Prize in 2020. These are just two examples of creators with big impact.
What makes Greystone Kids stand out from other publishers? Is there a specific message or vision your books will convey? We want the children’s program to reflect the strengths of the adult program, which, for over 25 years now, has published bestselling, awardwinning books about the natural world and our relationship to that world. We like to say our books are “Naturally Great.”
Why will librarians want to support and buy Greystone Kids books? Did you feel there was a gap in the library marketplace that you’re planning to address? Right from the start, we heard from librarians who were impressed with the quality of our children’s books. I remember a story about a librarian B R O D A R T L I T T L E O N E C ATA L O G
I believe there are many things that make us stand out, from our environmental vision to our environmentally sustainable production, but if I were to choose one thing, then it would be the global perspectives of our creators, who collaborate from art studios and writing offices around the world. This is especially represented in our spring 2022 season, with stories from an Indigenous reserve in the Canadian prairies (Tâpwê and the Magic Hat), a farm in the Northern hills of Argentina (The Youngest Sister), and a rural one-room school in Colombia (Drawing Outdoors—available in Spanish and English). We also have the zero-waste activist Rob Greenfield, who walks across Manhattan with his garbage strapped to his body in Be the Change. And the Australian duo Zana Fraillon and Phil Lesnie, who
portray a neurodivergent child in The Curiosities, with illustrations inspired by Lesnie’s Filipino heritage.
What has been the most challenging experience as apublisher in launching Greystone Kids? The pandemic was a complete surprise of course, but our tremendous team was able to continue the momentum of the imprint’s launch and help our books succeed. Ensuring that librarians, educators, parents, and children have had access to our books during the pandemic has been one of my most rewarding experiences in publishing.
