We accept volunteers 12 yrs of age and older.

Any volunteer under the age of 18 yrs must have a signed permission form on file before their first volunteer shift. 

You can find the teen permission permission form here. 

We require a background check to be ran on all volunteers aged 18 yrs and up. This allows us to add an extra measure of safety and peace of mind for our patrons, staff, and other volunteers. The process is confidential and at no cost to the volunteer(s).

Information required for the background check:

• Social Security Number
• Date of Birth
• Address
• Email
• Phone Number
• First/Last Name

Dress appropriately for the environment/task(s):

• No controversial or inappropriate words/graphics on clothing 

• No undergarments showing 

• Wear appropriate & comfortable shoes

We just ask that you keep in mind that we are a family and community centered environment, and that some volunteer work may be more physical than others! 

We do our best to accomodate people of varying skill and comfort levels, so please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

We do try to accommodate any parents that wish to hang out at the library while their child volunteers, but since we are limited on space we just ask for understanding from the parents if they need to relocate in order to accommodate patrons. 

However, if parents would like to get in their own volunteer time alongside their child, we can do that too! Parents would just need to follow the volunteer application process themselves and complete a background check before volunteering.

Unfortunately at this time we do not partner with volunteers for the sole purpose of fulfilling service hours for the court system.

The library has a default hours verification sheet here.

We can also fill out any form provided by you, and we can also verify via the electronic systems with various schools.

Please notify the volunteer coordinator if you are going to need a verification sheet printed for you.
