Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the library. The goal of our volunteer program is to enhance the services that the library provides to the citizens of our counties while providing a satisfying experience for volunteers. Volunteer positions are designed to match a volunteer's skills, interests, and schedule with library needs. Opportunities exist for volunteers to learn new skills, give to the community, enjoy the appreciation of staff and patrons, and meet new people.

Qualifications for Volunteers

Successfully pass a background check.
Must be at least 14 years old.
Able to commit to at least six months of volunteer work.

How to Become a Library Volunteer

Complete a Volunteer Interest Form and provide the completed form to the location where you want to volunteer. For a list of locations, click here. If a position is available, you will be contacted and asked to complete a Volunteer Application and Release of Liability form. We do not always have openings, so you will only be contacted if we have a position available.

When asked, complete the Volunteer Application and Release of Liability form. Provide the completed forms to the location where you want to volunteer. We will conduct a background check; this can take 4 to 6 weeks and you will be notified when it is complete.

Once your background check is complete, you will be contacted so we can schedule a date for training you on your volunteer assignment.
