Volunteer

Are you interested in volunteering at the Library?

There are many different ways you can help. With support from Library staff, volunteers can donate their time, extending the reach of the Library and getting the community involved in reaching library goals. The library relies on volunteers and we try to involve volunteers in meaningful and interesting work.

Volunteering & Community Service

Please note the following:

  • Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age.
  • Under Pennsylvania law, volunteers age must complete a number of background checks prior to starting service. Completion of these background checks can take as long as six weeks
  • Volunteers must also undergo training prior to starting service.
  • Before they can start helping at the library, volunteers need to sign a Volunteer Agreement and Waiver. This will be sent to prospective volunteers for their review once they submit a completed Volunteer Application.
  • Community Service requirements for schools or other organizations may be fulfilled at the Library.
