Volunteer in the library
Teen Advisory Group (TAG) and Maker Group |
|
Help us shape the programs and services offered in the library! Teen Advisory Group (TAG) members work on projects that are always different as the work is often based on members' interests. Some of the work we've done in the past include literary projects, such as book displays, contests and reviews, and we also have a Maker Group that focuses on emerging technologies. Teens are welcome to join both groups to maximize volunteer hour potential. Meetings happen twice a month on Wednesday evening from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Volunteers must be between 13-18 years old. |

Many people cannot physically come to the library due to disability. The library's Homebound Service provides a way for volunteers to select and deliver library materials to peoples' homes. To be a volunteer with Homebound Services, you will need a Police Vulnerable Sector Screening Check. For details on how to apply for this particular role, contact us and to speak to our Volunteer Coordinator. Volunteers must be 18 years or older. |
