The Tully Community Branch Library is well known for its jam-packed calendar of events. There are anywhere from four to eleven programs offered every day of the week the Library is open. The Tully teensReach group is responsible for many of these programs.

The Tully teensReach group is comprised of 88 teen volunteers and they volunteered over 1,000 hours in the past year. There is an active cabinet consisting of a President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. All teens interested in volunteering at the Tully Community Branch Library must sign up for teensReach and attend an orientation and monthly meetings.

Tully teensReachers volunteer in a variety of capacities at the Library. They set-up and run the Library’s monthly book sales. Proceeds go towards funding special events at the Library. Tully teens lead weekly Wednesday Fun Day activities for children which include: Wii video games, board games, movie days and art activities.

Tully teensReachers are also our Homework Center coaches and tutor children in grades 1-8 Tuesdays and Wednesdays. They assist with special holiday events including Lunar New Year, Halloween and Winter Holiday events.

One very remarkable thing about Tully’s teen volunteers, they are all very social and many become long term friends. They enjoy meeting teens from other schools and parts of San Jose.

The Tully Library staff and community are grateful for all of the time, effort and energy Tully’s teen volunteers put into making their Library a vibrant and inviting space.  

Thanks to all the Teens that helped the Edenvale staff present a Winter Faire on Saturday, December 11th. Almost 400 people came to the event. Lots of paperback books and photos with Santa were given to the children. Congratulations for a job well done, teen volunteers.
