Small Talk Volunteer Applications
The fall 2025 Small Talk sessions will be hosted at the Nevada Public Library on Thursday evenings September 18th to November 20th. Volunteers can sign up for as many or as few sessions as they want. They are expected to be onsite from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM or 5:45 PM - 7:15 PM. Small Talk is a program that provides parents with education courses to help them utilize language to boost developmental language skills. Our volunteers work closely with Robyn, the Family Literacy Specialist, to oversee station activities, help with participant check in, and read the weekly story time book. A light dinner will be provided to participants and volunteers.
