Your Library…A Great Place to Volunteer!

We are delighted that you are interested in volunteering at your Library! Limited volunteer opportunities exist for both adults and teens. Teen volunteers are required to be age 14 years or older. Parental consent is required for teens under 16. Students needing community service hours are welcome to submit an application.

We assign your volunteer time around your schedule and the needs of the Library. We have volunteers who work a few hours a month, a couple of times a month, or every week, depending on their schedules. We appreciate every moment of service you can provide.

Volunteers perform a variety of tasks which are important to the operation of the Library. These tasks might include:

  • Maintenance Support
    • Dusting
    • Cleaning (Toys, DVDs, Books, etc.)
    • Checking DVDs for slips and damage
  • Collection Support
    • Check shelves are in order, with items pulled for condition if needed
    • Weeding (Pulling items as directed, crossing out labels, and boxing items)
    • Pulling items for/from the hold list
    • Delivery check-in
  • Event Support
    • Event preparation
    • Event set-up
    • Assisting with staffing event tables
    • Assist with events under the direction of a staff member
  • Service Support
    • Simple tech (printing, copying, faxing)
    • AV support in meeting rooms (training required)
