Curated Book Lists

Teen Readers: the Kinderhook Library is seeking volunteers to curate new book lists!  

Volunteers can earn 2 hours of community service per approved list.

Requirements:

  • Each list should include 8-12 books covering similar themes, genres, tropes, or subjects.  Books can be nonfiction, fiction, or both.
  • Include a 50-100 word introduction of the book (written by the volunteer - no plagiarism in this house!) 
  • All books should be available to borrow through the Mid-Hudson Library System.  If this is a new book not in our system, check with Emily; we may be able to purchase it for the Library!
  • Books which are part of a series can only be referenced once per list, either by including the first book or referencing the series as a whole.  
  • Volunteers may be asked to make edits or additions to the lists before community service hours are approved.
