volunteer 2024

Assist with program and special events: setting up and breaking down the room, registration, audience Q&A, book signing, photography, greeting attendees, assisting with activities, distributing materials, and other tasks. These programs and special events rotate between most of the 21 Libraries and may occur on weekdays, weeknights, or Saturdays. 

Our Reading with a Therapy Animal activity allows young children to practice their reading skills and gain confidence in reading aloud by reading to a therapy dog or cat in a safe, nonjudgmental setting. Each child will select a book from our collection or bring their own book and will read aloud to the therapy animal and their handler for 10-15 minutes. The children and their parents/guardians may ask to pet the animal.

Facilitate Dungeons and Dragons and/or other tabletop role-playing game systems for teens. Game Masters (GMs) follow their imaginations guided by the rules of a chosen TTRPG to populate fictional worlds and devise scenarios for other players to engage with using dice and roleplay.

Serve as general Library volunteer. May be asked to help with a variety of activities, including shelving, holds, arts and crafts, creating displays, quality control, organizing and sorting materials, room setup, and other tasks.

An opportunity for teens to develop leadership skills and earn volunteer credit for scholarships by participating in activities, discussing a book, and sharing ideas on books, programs, and services they would like to see at the Library.
