​Volunteer Opportunities at the Library

​Library volunteers can help process library material, shelve books, help with office tasks and special library events.

Circulation Department Volunteers (currently suspended due to COVID-19)

Adults interested in volunteering should complete the Volunteer Application. Completed applications should be returned to the circulation desk. Circulation volunteers must be trained by a library staff member before beginning work. Someone will contact you once your application is reviewed.
​
The library is not accepting any “court ordered” community service workers.

NEW! Virtual Volunteers

Adults can earn volunteer hours by completing remote and virtual activities on your own time and from the comfort of your home. Examples include writing letters to homebound community members, creating content for our social media, coming up with trivia questions for our upcoming virtual trivia nights, and more! Here is the current list of tasks available.

Presidential Award Winners
The President's Volunteer Service Award is awarded to Avon Grove Library volunteers who dedicate a substantial number of hours to library volunteer work over the course of a single calendar year. These awards, bestowed by the President of the United States, honor the American tradition of volunteer service and thank those who, by demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.
