Schaumburg Library hosts virtual #WeWereHere exhibit March 30

Teens ages 12 to 19 years who participated in the #WeWereHere Project are welcome to join the Virtual Exhibit at the Schaumburg Township District Library from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 30 on Zoom.

Participants can showcase their community projects with a brief demo or statement and earn volunteer or service hour credit. Register at SchaumburgLibrary.org to receive the Zoom link.

Submissions to the #WeWereHere Project are still open at TheWeWereHereProject.org, where more information is also available.

This library-created project provides an opportunity for teen voices to be heard on issues including health, quarantine, missing friends and milestone celebrations, protest and social justice, and a society examining its attitudes about race, wealth and privilege. It's also a way to demonstrate how teens have connected with and helped others in their communities and beyond.
