Interested in submitting a book review? Become a Teen Volunteer Book Reviewer!
We want to know what books you love (or not). You can even earn community service volunteer hours.
Here’s how:
1. Reach out to Richards Memorial Library by phone, email, or in person to let us know you’re interested. Have a friendly chat with the Youth Services Librarian to review the process and get your questions answered.
2. Read a book from the Juvenile or Young Adult section that would appeal to teens.
3. Thoughtfully write and submit your Book Review here.
4. Your Book Review will be published on the Teen Page of the library website. Reviewer first names only will be used, unless you request to remain anonymous.
5. Need community service hours? We can sign forms. Earn 2 hours for each prose novel or nonfiction review. Earn one hour for each verse novel/poetry/graphic novel review.
Happy Reading!
