Call for Volunteers

Raised hands with the word volunteering

Volunteering with us means developing new skills, sharing your love of libraries with others, and making new friends. We constantly review applications and match applicants with a suitable volunteer role.

Volunteering does not automatically improve your chances of getting a job at the Library. Experience, including volunteer experience, is considered when reviewing employment applications.

Please note that adult volunteers must supply a criminal record check and all volunteers go through the interview process.

Nine committed board members volunteer their time and talent to ensure that we fulfill our responsibilities in support of library staff providing quality services to the community.

We meet up to Wednesday evenings yearly at the Bold Center location for about 3 hours.  We review our Plan of Service progress ensuring proper use of physical, fiscal, and human resources to meet library member needs.

Changes to our bylaws have expanded to include a Youth Board Member between the ages of 16 – 24 to serve, as well as, two Youth Ambassadors (14-16).   We want to bring a youthful perspective to our deliberations and plans plus find ways to reach other youth, encouraging their involvement in Library programs and services.
