Lamar Library Aides
The Lamar Library has student aides for every period of the day. These are 7th and 8th graders that have a strong desire to help achieve the mission of the library, and provide excellent customer service to our patrons. If you are interested in becoming a library aide, please indicate it on your elective choice sheet in the spring, and then pick up an application from the librarian (or download and print it from the link below). We look at your grades, your attendance, and your application essay to determine eligibility. Being a library aide takes the place of one of your electives, and is a year-long course.
