Volunteer Opportunities

Kids:

Middle schoolers in grades 6 to 8 interested in collaborating with other kids and helping their community are encouraged to join the Middle School Advisory Board. The group meets monthly during the school year.

Teens:

Are you looking for something fun to do after school or need volunteer hours for school? If you are in grade 9 and up we have volunteer opportunities for you! Teen volunteers assist the youth services department with programming and help librarians with a variety of tasks.

Please print and fill out a volunteer interest form PDF Form, then return it to the Ask Me Desk on the lower level. Teen volunteers require parental permission to participate.

Adults:

If you’re friendly, patient, and enthusiastic about the library, we may have volunteer opportunities for you. To apply, please print and fill out a volunteer interest form PDF Form, then return it to the Readers Services Desk. Positions are filled based on need, availability and experience.
