Become a Library Volunteer

Do you have two hours a week to volunteer? Do you want to contribute to your community? Consider becoming a library volunteer!

Adult or teen (ages 12-17) volunteers support the library in many ways. Positions include shelving, filing, telephone duties, greeting or helping at self-check. Adult and teen volunteer opportunities are based on individual needs of the library. Please inquire at your branch or click on the locations below for current positions available.

Summer teen volunteers: applications are accepted on a first-come basis beginning Monday, May 01. Space is limited.

Applications are available for teens at the children’s members service desk or on our website. Applications are accepted only when positions are available, and returned in person at the desired location. Contact the adult facilitator at the location for adult applications.
