Volunteering at the library

Looking for something to do when summer's over? If you've been interested in volunteering at the library, our volunteer orientations are starting up again. Library volunteers assist with tutoring adult learners, checking in books, the Friends of the Library in the Gift Shop and with used books, delivering books to homebound residents and much more.

Visit this page for more information about our volunteer program (scroll down to Volunteering) as well as to download a volunteer application. The application includes more information about the different volunteer opportunities at each branch. Prospective volunteers will fill out an application, then attend a volunteer orientation.

Our first volunteer orientation for the fall will take place on Wednesday, August 11 at 10:00 am. See the event listing for registration information, and make sure to fill out your volunteer application form in advance. (View our calendar for additional monthly orientation dates.)

Teen volunteer opportunities will also re-open in the fall. Visit this page and scroll down to Teen Volunteer Application for more information about how to apply.

Teens needing community service hours for school may or may not be able to fulfill these short-term assignments at the library, depending on our schedule availability. If you need community service hours for school, please send in your application early for a better chance at getting onto the schedule.

Please note: Unfortunately, we do not have positions available for court-ordered community service. For information about court-ordered volunteer opportunities, visit this page and scroll down to Court-Ordered Community Service.
