Adopt-A-Shelf
Visit our Adopt-A-Shelf page to learn more about this important volunteer opportunity.

Materials Management Volunteers
Our collection is always on the move, so we need an extra pair of hands to make sure everything is in its place! Putting book carts in order, pulling damaged or old books from the shelves, and making sure shelves are neat and accurate are essential tasks to minimize mis-shelving and making sure all materials are easy to locate! This is great for volunteers who need flexible hours. Volunteers will be trained in the Dewey Decimal System and must be able to put things in alphabetical and numerical order. Attention to detail and organization are ideal qualities for this task! Send your application in any time and we will contact you about a schedule.

Administrative Volunteers
Help the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the library running smoothly! Cleaning out old files, archiving records from the past year, folding brochures and booklets, cleaning and organizing closets, and a variety of other office tasks help keep things in order and up-to-date. This is great for volunteers who need flexible hours or a one-time assignment. Usually administrative projects are larger and happen once or twice a month. Send your application in any time and we will contact you about current or upcoming projects.

Library Event Volunteers
When the library hosts a larger event we may need extra hands to help set-up, clean up, sign-up, or monitor the activities. Gracious hosting skills are a plus! This is great for volunteers who just want a one-time or infrequent opportunity. Send your application in any time and we will contact you when there is a need for an upcoming event.

Community Volunteers
Help spread the word about how great your library is! We will prepare flyers, bookmarks and brochures with our calendar and special programs for you to distribute to local businesses and community bulletin boards. This is a great task for volunteers who are active in the community and have an outgoing nature. This task can have flexible hours or be scheduled at the same time weekly/monthly depending on the volunteer’s needs. Send your application in any time and we will contact you to discuss a schedule.
