The Ferguson Library is offering volunteer hours to teens grades 6 to 12 to write book reviews. Reviews will be featured on the library's Youth Instagram page and displayed with reviewed books at the library.

Teens may submit up to two book reviews per week here. For each review approved by a librarian, teens will receive one hour of volunteer credit.

The Friends of Ferguson book shops have a great selection for everyone! Stop into our locations, cool off and find your next great read, or shop online. Prices are greatly discounted and all proceeds benefit the library. Your summer reading selections are waiting!
