Library Volunteer Job Description
HOW SOON CAN I START?
Once we receive your paperwork, a background check will be run and as soon that is complete, we will contact you to schedule your training. You can anticipate an approximate lag time of one week for paper processing.
IS THERE AN AGE REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER?
Yes, sixteen is the minimum age for volunteers. Any volunteer under the age of 18 must have the written permission of a parent/guardian on the form above. Note that the parent/guardian must sign the form in the presence of a library staff member.
WHAT WOULD I DO AT THE LIBRARY?
If you are available weekly at a consistent time, it could be shelving materials or helping at a repeating program such as Storytime or the Builders Club. We also need volunteers to help us with special programming. Doing prep work for programs or displays is a great need, and that might consist of cutting out or assembling materials or pulling a book list. Maybe you have great writing skills and would like to come in and write up some book reviews! Artistic? Well, we need to talk....
