The Volunteer Program supports the Library’s mission of being a vibrant and engaging community center. The Library is grateful for its team of Adult, Teen, and Intern volunteers who generously give their time.
The Library’s goal for Teen volunteers is to provide a nurturing, welcoming environment that helps youth develop employability skills, a commitment to service, and positive character traits such as initiative and responsibility. Teens practice thoroughness, punctuality, professionalism, and integrity by completing an online application, interviewing, job training, and communicating with the Volunteer Coordinator.
Please note: Volunteers must be a minimum of 14 years old. Due to the time it takes to effectively train a volunteer library policy states that you commit one hour per week for at least three consecutive months.

Do you want to volunteer occasionally, but you don't want to make a long-term volunteer commitment? No problem!

If you'd like us to get in touch with you when help is needed for special events, choose this option.
If you have a high attention to detail, we'd love your help! We’ll teach you exactly how everything in a library section should be shelved; you make sure the materials on the shelves are in perfect order. This volunteer position requires concentration and critical thinking skills.

Have you ever wondered which library books are most popular? Do you like to know what’s new and interesting or older and classic? Shelve recently returned books and find out! Volunteers in Circulation (Adult and Teen sections) and in the Children’s Department assist library staff in efficiently and accurately shelving all sorts of books and library materials. Please note that this work can be quite physical.
