Monroe — The Members of Teen Force spent their Saturday assisting the Monroe Free Library during a flea market fundraiser.

Many of these kids are too young to get working papers and a paying job, so they volunteer year-round at the library.

Teen Force volunteers help younger children with crafts, they assist in library fundraisers and make suggestions for books, movies and music selections for patrons to borrow on a daily basis. They are also book buddies for younger children. They run the younger children's summer reading program.

Teen Force volunteers are supervised by Melissa Quarles, head of children and young adult services, and Christina Ryan-Linder and Joy Hyman, children services assistants.

The kids have to treat this opportunity like any other paid job, said Melissa Quarles, head of children and young adult services. Participants are asked to call in if they are late or unable to attend. They should also dress appropriately, since they are role models for younger students and are in a professional environment.

Quarles said the experience gives them a leg up when they actually get hired for paying jobs and can put this community service-based program on their resumes.

"The Teen Force is very important because they are like an energy in the library that is really vital to our success," she said.

Teen Force members include Grace Cheong, Brian Hagadorn, Catherine Hagadorn, Gregg Perlmutter, Anthony Perlmutter, Shruti Juneja, Nafisa Chowdhury, Heather Young, Greg Pepe, Andrea Baptista, Lauren Reece, Clarissa Herman, Ashley Devine, Jaya Kahanna, Dana Shirley, Kimberly Heuberger and Kristen Heuberger.
