Kid Librarian Initiative
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a librarian? Students ages 10-13 can apply to be a kid Librarian for a week at the Schweitzer Brentwood Branch. Create your own book display, explore behind-the-scenes library work and ask questions about what we do. Pick up an application at the Youth Services desk at Schweitzer Brentwood Branch Library beginning March 15.
