Whether you need to fulfill service hours, want to get involved in your community, or just enjoy being among the books, check out the opportunities listed below! Volunteer applicants for postings on this page should be at least 12 years old and under 18 years old, unless otherwise approved by a librarian.
Our teen volunteers assist in the organization and maintenance of the Youth Library to support a welcoming environment for our visitors. They also help prepare and run special programs that we provide seasonally. By participating in volunteer activities, you will gain experience and skills that look great on college and job applications.
Our regular volunteer schedule is currently full.
You may still submit an application if you wouldn't mind being contacted to help with future Special Events, such as festivals or Summer programs.
Apply!
