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 VolunteersAdults 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.
