The library primarily uses Remind.com to communicate with Teen Volunteers. The Remind app is available in the App Store, Google Play, or any web browser. The library will add teen and parent contact information into the SCPL Teen Volunteers classroom. If you have any questions about Remind, contact the Teen Services Librarian, Lesley Campbell (985) 764-9643 ext. 111.
