Apply to be a Kid Librarian
Introducing our Kid Librarian program at the Englewood Public Library.
Each month a child will be chosen to curate a display in the Children’s Room with some of their favorite books. Visit the Children’s Desk for an application.
Here’s how it works:
- One week before it’s your month to be featured, you’ll need to come to the library between Monday and Friday to have your picture taken and choose at least 20 books to put on physical display in the children’s room.
2. On the first day of the month, your display will be ready. You will be highlighted on our social media pages.
3. You will be contacted by a librarian if you are selected!
