Earth Day: Planet vs. Plastics
Earth Day is an annual event that honors the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness for the need to protect Earth's natural resources for future generations. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day is now held annually on April 22 and includes a wide range of events. The official theme for 2024 is "Planet vs. Plastics."
Earn 1 hour of community service when you visit https://www.earthday.org/factsheets/ and create a google slide highlighting information from one of the fact sheet topics of your choice.
All entries must be emailed to teenservices@hhhlibrary.org on/or before Tuesday, April 30th to receive your certificate.
A maximum of 2 slides, for 2 hours of community service, may be submitted for the month of April.
Virtual Author Talk
The Half Hollow Hills Community Library is now hosting virtual author talks! Receive community service hours for every event you virtually attend when you send us confirmation of your attendance. A list of upcoming author talks can be found at: https://libraryc.org/hhhlibrary/upcoming.
Following an author event, all registrants will receive a "Thank You Email" from the event's host. Please forward this email to teenservices@hhhlibrary.org as evidence of your attendance and to receive community service credit. The amount of community service hours will be dependent on the length of the author talk.
