Volunteering with the Friends
The Friends of the Public Library is a volunteer-led organization and we are always looking for dedicated people to join our friendly team! Opportunities are available for weekly, monthly and one-time volunteers. We also welcome corporate, high school and college group volunteers!
Pricing/Sorting Volunteers
Pricing and sorting volunteers are the first to see all the latest donations! This weekly opportunity is perfect for those who love to organize!
Bookshop Volunteers
Do you love talking to people about books? Then the Bookshop may be the perfect fit for you! Ring up sales, tidy and restock the shop and answer customer questions. This weekly opportunity is from 10:30am to 2pm, Monday through Saturday.
Book Sales Volunteers
Our monthly book sales, held at the Main Library downtown, are one of the Friends' biggest fundraisers. Volunteers are needed to ring up sales, assist with bag hold, restock and tidy merchandise and more. We also need volunteers to help with setup and tear down the week before and after sales.
Community Outreach Volunteers
Share your love of libraries! Volunteers are needed to assist with our monthly newsletter, outreach events at library concerts and Summer Reading activities and posting flyers in their communities. These volunteer opportunities are flexible and some may be completed at home.
Membership Management Volunteers
Assist the Friends with onboarding new members, helping our existing members to renew, and answer general membership questions. This flexible opportunity is perfect for the computer-savvy volunteer!
Join the Board
Help direct the course of the Friends! Board members are needed to oversee the book sales and other activities and ensure that we are fulfilling our mission to support the library. Meetings are held once a month in the evening.
