How To Volunteer at The Library?
You can volunteer for one-time special events or regular shifts or anything in between. To be considered, please email us that you are interested and we will email you an application. Once you've submitted your application in person or by mail to the library, the city will run a background check. This takes approximately 2-3 weeks.
​
Once you are cleared to volunteer, we will contact you to set up a training session.
