Volunteering at the Library

Teen Volunteer Program

We invite teens, ages 14 to 18, to participate as a Library Volunteer. You'll work with other teens and librarian mentors on meaningful projects.

How to apply

Fill out this online application form. You'll be contacted by one of our librarians. It's that simple!

If you become a volunteer, you'll track your volunteer hours for us. Here's a tracker you can use.
