May 2022 Community Service for SHPL residents currently in Grades 6-12

Monthly Community Service: Recycling Challenge

As part of the Sustainable Libraries Initiative, we are “challenging” teens to consciously recycle and earn community service and money at the same time!  This is what you do:

  1. You can recycle any bottles or cans that have a deposit on it. 
  2. Bring your items to any store that accepts these recyclables.  
  3. For every 20 items you recycle you will earn one hour of community service!  
  4. Email us a picture of the receipt (must be dated within 30 days of submission) and provide your first and last name, your grade and your SHPL barcode with RECYCLING CHALLENGE in the subject line.  
  5. We will email you a community service certificate within 2 weeks.  The money you receive is yours to keep.  
  6. Please send emails to youthconnection@shpl.info or jgriffing@shpl.info.  This challenge is for SHPL cardholders in grades 6-12 only. 

Many community service opportunities are also available as online programs. Check our monthly and weekly newsletters and our library program calendar to see what is available.The majority of these programs require registration with a valid SHPL card and are available to those in grades 6-12. Questions? Please ask!
