The Charlotte’s Web Bookmobile is presenting a new summer teen volunteer program for 2024. Teen volunteers, ages 14-17 years old, will have a chance to create youth or family activity programs that will be featured outside the bookmobile during Old Town Market in Lompoc this summer.

In addition to volunteering for the Charlotte’s Web Bookmobile, teens can also volunteer as part of the Lompoc Public Library’s Summer Reading Program. Participants can decide to volunteer in one program or both.

While teen volunteers helped with the bookmobile programs at last summer’s Old Town Market, the 2024 volunteer program encourages youth to take a more active role in the planning and supervision of the activities.

“Last year, we tried something new by hosting activities for family and youth directly outside of the bookmobile and every week we had a new activity,” said Rachell Frazian, youth services librarian and bookmobile manager for the Lompoc Public Library.

“Some activities included giant bubbles, giant building blocks, and one Friday we covered the bookmobile with paper and set out crayons for the community to create their own mural,” she said.

“Last year was also the first year we used teen volunteers to help with the activities. It was a great experience and a lot of fun but now we want to do something different.” Frazian said. “This year, we want the teen volunteers to design and supervise the activities.

“Volunteers will have a budget to buy materials and will learn the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making a successful public library program,”

Online registration is available for the program at: https://tinyurl.com/LPLTeenVolunteers.
