Are you a high school student interested in the Internet and computer technology? Would you like to use your skills to assist other community members?

The Reading Public Library welcomes you to fill out an application to become a volunteer Netguide.  Netguides assist in introductory Internet and technology classes and/or provide one-on-one technology training to patrons of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels.

This is a great way to get your required service hours for the National Honor Society or any other church, school or community group.  In addition, the Netguide program looks great on your college and job applications! Read more…
