Would you like to meet new people and learn new skills while making a difference? Teens, do you have community volunteer requirements for school or another organization?
There are two ways to volunteer at your library:
1. The Friends of MCDL support the library and its endeavors by focusing attention on events and services, fostering public support, and fundraising. Volunteers operate used book stores at all MCDL locations. Proceeds fund the Summer Reading Game, Author events, early literacy endeavors and more. Learn more and reach out to the Friends through their website.
2. MCDL Volunteers share their time and talents to supplement, enhance and support our staff while making a contribution to the library and its patrons. Our volunteer program welcomes:
Tweens and Teens, age 12 and up (or entering 6th Grade)
Adults of all ages
If you think volunteering at the library may be right for you, please contact your local branch to see if they are accepting applications.
To apply, download the Volunteer Application. If you under the age of 17, you will need a parent or guardian to sign your application. Any adult volunteers who are 18 years or older will also need to fill out a Volunteer Release Form . These can be mailed or returned to any MCDL library currently accepting volunteers.
