My Library, Stuff for the Teen Age
My Library: Gabriel
Gabriel, we love it when you volunteer at the library! How did you find us?
I wanted to volunteer at the local park, but they didn't have anything for me to do. The lady I talked to said I should try the library, so here I am.
What do you like best about volunteering here?
It's great for my resume.
You're just turning 14! Are you already worried about your resume?
Yeah, I want to get a good job!
You need to do some fun stuff this summer, too. Will you come learn how to make masks at our Teen Advisory Group meeting this week?
Definitely.
OK, last question: I understand you're trying to become the Mayor of Battery Park Library on foursquare?
Yeah, I think it will be really fun.
I may have to call you Mr. Mayor before the summer's over, Gabriel.
