Write Book Reviews

You can earn one hour of volunteer time for submitting a short book review, to be displayed on library book shelves (without your name). You may submit a positive book review on any Young Adult book in the library’s collection.To check if a book is in our collection, please search for it in the catalog here, then select “where is it” and look for William Jeanes Memorial Library. The review should be between 75-150 words. You can type or copy your review into an email to send to edenton@mclinc.org. You will receive confirmation that your review has been accepted, and you have earned an hour of volunteer time.

Youth Advisory Board

Past events that they have hosted include Anti-Valentine’s Day event for teens, a Winnie the Pooh Storytime for children, and Tech Help for adults. Teens receive community service hours for their time.
