Contact: Teen Programming mclteen@monmouthcountylib.org

An ongoing event, A Day in the Life of a Quaranteen asks for a written documentary of your life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Entries can be essays, poems, journal entries, or written song describing your life, thoughts, and feelings about COVID-19. One to two submissions will be displayed in our quarterly teen newsletter. One volunteer hour is possible per article for participants. Your article will need to be approved by a library staff member before you will be given service hours. Articles need to follow the guidelines to be approved, and may be sent back to you if anything is missing.
Age: Must be between grades 7-12
Library Card: Must have a valid Monmouth County Library Card.
Service Hours Given: 1 hour per article submission upon library approval.
Limit of two submissions per person.
Submission: Please submit your article through this Google Form.
Attention Parent/Guardian: It is highly recommended that your teen is responsible for all correspondence regarding the Teen Volunteer Program; starting with the review submission process and continuing throughout their volunteer service. This program strives to prepare your child for his/her first job. We feel that the more responsibility that volunteers have in the successful execution of completing their service, the better prepared he or she will be to apply for jobs and enter the workforce. When at all possible, please ask your teen to call, email, organize, and initiate! Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Bound for Amerikay: The Irish Emigrant Experience with McDermott's Handy Premieres on Sunday, March 14 at 2:00pm
Join us for songs and stories about the times of Irish immigrants leaving everything behind for the fabled land of freedom, with streets paved with gold and untold wealth and opportunity. Kathy DeAngelo and Dennis Gormley will perform from the Irish viewpoint, but in essence it is the story of every ethnic group who has struggled in their homeland against political upheaval and repression. Though they have endured grinding poverty and racial or religious persecution, they have persevered to build something better for their children, with a new life in America.
Enjoy this concert of traditional Irish music on fiddle, harp, flute, guitar, banjo, and tin whistle with the award-winning duet who have been performing together for more than 40 years.
A "handy" is a set of Irish tunes collected and titled in a person's honor. Gormley and DeAngelo began playing Irish music together in 1977 after both were mentored by the respected New Jersey fiddler Ed McDermott, whom they named their duo after. They are multi-instrumentalists and have performed hundreds of educational programs at schools, libraries, festivals and community events.
