Teen Volunteer Club at the Valley Community Library is an opportunity for teens to earn community service hours, share their thoughts on teen programing and space, and socialize with new friends while building a resume. Teens will work with library staff on a variety of tasks that are needed for the library to run smoothly and aid our amazing programs. Interested teens should fill out a Teen Volunteer Application. For all volunteers or presenters ages 14 and older we require their PA Criminal Background Check (available to be filled out at https://epatch.pa.gov/home) and a copy of a valid PA Child Abuse History Clearance (available to be printed from or filled out at compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home). This paperwork should be turned in at the front desk of the Library. Registration is required for each Teen Volunteer Club meeting so we can plan for the number of volunteers we will have and make sure we have the paperwork needed ahead of time.

Tune Up Tuesdays
2026-05-05 17:30 - 18:30 | North Pocono Public Library, 1315 Church St., Moscow, PA, 18444-9254, United States
Tuesday, May 5 at 5:30 P.M.
(Adult Programming)
Join Sound Therapist, Teri Granahan, at North Pocono Public Library for a super relaxing mini sound bowl session to “tune up” your body instrument using a full set of quartz crystal sound bowls. By the end of the event, you will understand and experience the true benefits of sound healing.
Sound vibrations affect the water contained in our cells and since our bodies are made up of mostly water, sound therapies offer the most noninvasive, highly restorative sense of wellness deep into those very cells. Minimally sound helps the body and mind relax. Maximally, it can assist the body’s regenerative nature and return health to the state of the mind/body.
Registration is required.
