Frequently Asked Questions:

  • How old do I have to be to volunteer?

    Volunteers must be 12 years old or older.

  • What is the process of signing up?

    You will fill out your application and a background check. After turning these in to the staff, we will run the background check, which you will also recieve a copy of. We will then call you to let you know if you have been accepted or not.

     

    Minors will not be given a background check. We will call references instead.

     

    If you already have submitted to a background check for another purpose and are able to provide it, we will accept that in lieu of doing a new background check.

  • Does applying to be a volunteer cost money?

    No, applying is free. The Library pays for the cost of the background check.

  • Can I choose when to volunteer?

    Yes - we will work with your schedule.
