Media Center Volunteer Training

Volunteering in the Broadmeadow Media Center (our school library) is a wonderful way to see your child during the school day while making a meaningful contribution to our school community. 

All new Media Center volunteers are required to attend a 30-minute training session led by our school librarian, Jenn Potter. Returning volunteers are welcome to join as a refresher, though it’s optional.

Training sessions: 8:05am–8:35am on Sept 8, Sept 10, Sept 12, Sept 24, and Oct 17.

Please sign up for a training session here.

If you can't make one of the scheduled training sessions, please email Samantha Pace at media@broadmeadowptc.org to arrange another time.
