Summer Service: A Brief Service Opportunity at the Charlestown Boys and Girls Club, Charlestown, MA

Please join SLIS from June 14 through June 16 to continue our work with the Boys and Girls Club of Boston (BGCB) to organize and process a library of print material for children and young adults at the organization’s Charlestown club location.

During Spring Break, volunteers from SLIS worked to weed, organize, and process the Charlestown club’s collection of children’s books and succeeded in weeding the entire collection and sorting, labeling, and cataloging 1,246 books for the club’s library.

Now, we want to finish the job!  Volunteers interested in joining us may sign up to participate on any day during the three-day period we will be on site at the Charlestown BGCB.  To make sure were are prepared with enough supplies, please email Amy Pattee ([email protected]) to sign up for one or more shifts during the June period of service:

The Charlestown Boys and Girls Club (see:  http://www.bgcb.org/find-your-club/charlestown-club/) is located at 15 Green Street in Boston and is a ten-minute walk from the Community College T-stop on the orange line train. 

This is a great opportunity for any student interested in community service, in general; the Boys and Girls Club, more specifically; and in the work that goes into developing and maintaining a small library collection.

Please get in touch with Amy Pattee ([email protected]) with any questions or to sign up for a shift.
