Support the Library · Volunteer Opportunities

Library volunteers play an important role as partners in the Library’s mission of connecting people to the world of ideas and information.

If you would like to help our staff, work with materials in the collection, or connect others to our catalog and the Internet, we have some rewarding opportunities that might suit you! We’re looking for people willing to donate a few hours of their time either on an ongoing basis, or for one-time projects.

Volunteer opportunities at the Main Library may include the following: shelf reader, computer assistant, genealogy tour guide, program support, and document translator (French to English and German to English).

Volunteer opportunities at the branches may include the following: computer assistant, program support, and shelf reader.
