Volunteer Hours for
Young Adult Book Reviews

You asked, we listened. For those in need of more community service hours, you now have another option! Here’s how it works:

  • You read a book at least 100 pages in length.
  • You fill out the form we provide in the library, which includes information about the book, and a 1.5-page review (I.e., Half of the front and the entire back of the page) of the book. 
  • Turn the form in--with a week for us to process your entry--we can we give you one hour of community service for every 100 pages read. So if you read a 374-page book, you get three hours.


That’s it. It’s easy! 
Programs offered by the Children's Department are intended for children in grades K - 7 with an accompanying adult for children under 9 years.
Third Annual Family Winter Reading Challenge!
The WPL Children's Department has issued the 3rd Annual Winter Family Reading Challenge! The purpose of the program is to provide a fun and easy way to encourage the habit of reading. Reading as a family is a great way of spending quality time together. Your family can share stories of all kinds--mystery, fantasy (Harry Potter anyone?) and so much more! You can use books to craft together, cook together, learn together, be together. Also, it not just books, check out Hoopla and eLibraryNJ for digital books, audio books and more!
Many of our programs do not require registration, but kindly click on calendar links or the flyers posted to the eNews below for registration information. Registration is generally not required for Playgroup programs.
