Weekly Volunteering
Teens who are looking to build their resume and develop job skills can apply to volunteer at the Library. This process will include an interview and orientation. Volunteers will be assigned a shift every week to assist librarians in tasks that may include preparing for programs, finding books, cleaning, and other general duties. A limited number of these opportunities will be available.
The application is currently closed. Please check back in April when will have more opportunities available.
Digital Volunteering
Digital volunteers receive a list of tasks they can do online and at home. Volunteers can do as many tasks as they wish to achieve their hours in whatever time frame works best for them. Teens will be asked to re-apply when they have not submitted any tasks for one month.
If you are interested in being a teen digital volunteer, please fill out the application form.
Volunteer opportunities are for currently enrolled junior high and high school students only. Positions are unpaid. For more information on volunteering at the library, read our Volunteer and Community Service Policy.
