Summer Service Opportunity! Northview Mobile Library

Calling all New and Returning NJHS members! Check out this fun service opportunity! Any hours you work this summer for the Mobile Library can count toward your 12 hours for the 2016/17 school year! Just remember to get a supervisor's signature! Keep reading for the details:

Northview Mobile Library

Every summer, book tubs are loaded onto a Northview truck and the 'mobile library truck' goes around to neighborhoods to deliver books to families. Often children clap and cheer when they see the book mobile arriving. Last summer, over 300 children and adults climbed the stairs into our mobile library truck, selected and exchanged books to read. The mobile library makes three visits (June, July, August) to six different neighborhoods. Children climb out of neighborhood pools to get books, families drive to one of the stops, and the excitement about books and reading is amazing.

We need your help. When we have older students and adults selecting books to read, it is hard for us to recommend, 'book talk', to these people. That is where we need you. With your excitement for reading, and your book knowledge, you are better able to help connect them with the perfect book than we are.

So we would love to have your support this summer.

Here is the mobile library schedule. If you can join us at any time, please send a note to any of the principals or literacy specialists.

Summer Service Opportunity!

Attention all new 2016/ 2017 members and returning members! Here's a fun service opportunity. This may count for either individual or group hours! Remember you have 16 hours of volunteer service to complete between June 2016 and May 2017.

From Mrs. Burgess:

"Little Free Libraries are coming to Northview! Little Free Libraries, or LFLs, are boxes of books that are free for the community to borrow and read and return anytime. We will need some responsible volunteers to check up on the LFLs throughout the summer to make sure they are stocked with books and in good shape. This will not be a huge time commitment, you will only need to check up once or twice during the week you sign up for. There will be an LFL at Crossroads as well as each of the elementary buildings. If you would like more information, please see Mrs. Burgess."
