The WLC in Waban is looking for high school students who are interested in working a few hours per week this summer at our small community run library. Work starts a week after school closes, and ends in mid August. This is a good way for students to get involved with community service, and help us at the same time.
The work involves typical library work plus helping us with Story Time and occasional crafts projects with children. A personal interview must be scheduled at a convenient time. Students are encouraged to write to wabanlibrary@gmail.com or call 617- 244-0700.

The New England Mobile Book Fair has been a mecca for children’s books for over 60 years. The owners and staff are firm believers in children’s literacy and work closely with schools and libraries to get books into the hands of children all over New England. They also think that it is important to be able to write about books and how they broaden one’s world view.
In 2014 the Book Fair established an essay contest open to all 6th graders in the public schools of Newton. This year they are inviting all of the 6th graders from the Needham Public School system to participate as well.
By submitting an essay, entrants agree to have their essay posted on New England Mobile
Book Fair’s website and Facebook page. With consent by the entrant and his or her legal
guardian(s), their name will accompany the posted essay. The winner of the contest will be
decided by the staff of the New England Mobile Book Fair and announced no later than May 30th.
Contest Rules and Details are also available on the website, nebookfair.com. You may also call 617-964-7440. Ask for the children’s department.
