Volunteer at the Library

Summer Volunteer Applications

Due to high demand, and to be as fair to as many interested in volunteering as possible, summer volunteer applications will be accepted STARTING MAY 15TH. Earlier applications for the summer months will NOT be accepted. Summer volunteer hours will begin in July and go through the end of August.

 

Volunteers help the library in many ways! Volunteer tasks include writing book reviews, helping with programs, tidying shelves, and light clerical tasks. We welcome volunteers with different abilities and skills.

Volunteers are chosen according to their skills, the availability of supervision by library staff, and the needs of the library. To help students meet their required volunteer hours, we give preference to volunteers between the ages of 12 – 18. Are you over the age of 18 and interested in helping out the library? Please check out the Friends of the C.H. Booth Library for volunteer information.

Interested in lending a hand? Fill out the Volunteer Application and return it in person at the YA circulation desk or via email at ya@chboothlibrary.org!

The library cannot guarantee that the requested number of hours will be accomplished by a certain date. We cannot accommodate court mandated community service hours.

Questions? Please email YA Librarian Darcy Sowers at ya@chboothlibrary.org.
