CHILDRENS' PROGRAMS
- Volunteer storytellers
are trained by our Youth Services Department to read stories to children.
- Volunteers assist students with their homework projects at
Homework Centers at many of our libraries. Each center has a Homework
Supervisor who will train and assist volunteers.
- Each year thousands of children participate in the Summer Reading
Program. The Library recruits young adults, ages 13 to 17, during
the spring, to assist children in signing up for the Summer Reading
Program.
ADULT READING PROGRAM
- The Library tutors adults in reading. No prior teaching experience
is required, as the Library will train you. If you are interested in
being a student or a tutor, visit our Adult
Literacy Program Web site.
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
- The Ventura County Library has nine Friends groups that help support
the library with fund-raising activities such as book sales. All money
earned is given to the library to buy books. Please visit the Friends
page for the name of the contact person for your local Friends group.
