Who can volunteer?
Students entering grade 6 and older may apply to volunteer at the library. Volunteers should be flexible, dependable, have the ability to follow directions, and work cooperatively as a team with other volunteers and library staff. No experience is necessary; training or an orientation is provided.
Why volunteer at the library?
Teens can gain work-related experience while having fun, helping others, trying new skills and learning about the library and our communities. You can generally choose hours to fit your schedule, and you might be able to volunteer with a friend – or meet new ones! Library volunteer work will usually satisfy service learning requirements for school.
Summer Teen Volunteer Program
BCL needs many volunteers to help run our Summer Reading Programs and to assist with our busy calendar of events and activities from June to August. Information and applications for Central and branch libraries are typically posted by mid-May in the Become a Teen Volunteer section below.
School-year Volunteer Opportunities
The Central Library Children’s Department has openings for volunteers to assist with some of our children’s events and programs, data entry, keeping the department clean and organized, and other tasks throughout the year.
