Current Opportunities
Program Support (Ages 11-Adult):
Program Support volunteers assist library staff members with a variety of staff-led programs. Volunteers may be asked to help with setup/teardown, attendee sign-in, assisting with an activity, hospitality, wayfinding, or other duties. Volunteers supporting children’s or family programs may be ages 11 and up, but we may restrict the minimum volunteer age for specific programs and needs.
Teen Advisory Board (TAB) (Grades 6-12)
Teen Advisory Board is the pulse of the teen community at the library. TAB members’ positive thoughts and ideas are heavily relied upon to create appropriate and engaging programs for teens. TAB members might be asked to weigh in on any topic that relates to library service for teens. Teens receive volunteer time for participating in monthly meetings. Each month volunteers choose to work on projects with the Events Committee or the Social Media Committee during the TAB meeting. Volunteers must be enrolled in grades 6-12.
Tidying Teens (Grades 6-12)
Tidying Teens volunteers help keep the library tidy, which may include dusting shelves, straightening books, notifying staff of problem areas, and other tasks. Volunteers do not shelve books. This volunteer assignment is open to grades 6-12. After training, volunteers schedule themselves for open shifts using the volunteer portal.
