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.
