Volunteer at the library this summer and make a difference. Volunteering is a great way to contribute to your community, develop new skills, and earn service hours. During June and July, you’ll help with the popular Summer Library Club by signing up patrons and presenting rewards when they complete activities.
If you’ll be in grades 7–12 for the 2025-26 school year, apply to be a Junior Volunteer! Applications will be open between 9 AM Monday, April 7, and 9 PM Monday, April 14.
Applications will be accepted from April 7-14, 2025.
Check back here on April 7th for the link to the online application.
Volunteers will be chosen via lottery from all qualifying applications.
All returning Junior Volunteers need to submit a new application.
All accepted volunteers will receive an email from the library no later than Friday, April 25th.
Mandatory for all New & Returning Junior Volunteers:
Scheduling Day: If you're selected to volunteer, make an appointment with the Teen Volunteer Coordinator to schedule your volunteer shifts. Failure to attend will result in removal from the program.
Mandatory for all New & Returning Junior Volunteers:
Training Session: After scheduling your volunteer shifts, sign up to attend a training session. Choose one at your scheduling appointment. Failure to attend will result in removal from the program.
Certificates will be emailed to the address we have on file after all hours are totaled by mid-August. It will include your name, total hours that you volunteered, and the coordinator's signature.
