Volunteer at Your Library

Enrich Your Community

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering is vital to the health of your library and your community, and your support enhances the delivery of much needed library services for youth and adults. You will also gain skills and knowledge that will help in your professional career and your personal life. If you’re a student, you can gain school service credit and a valuable job experience.

Who Can Volunteer?

Anyone 14 and older who has an interest in libraries and books, a concern for their community, and/or a passion for helping others can be a volunteer! We welcome volunteers with a variety of different skills, interests, and abilities, so we’d love to have you.

What Can A Volunteer Do?

Since our volunteers come from different backgrounds and have different skills and experiences, there are a variety of volunteer opportunities.

Volunteers may:

  • assist with children’s storytimes or art activities,
  • provide computer and printing support to library users,
  • help clean and sort library materials and displays, and/or
  • help raise money for and awareness of library services as a member of a Friends Group.

And these are just a few of the things volunteers do for us, and volunteer tasks may vary throughout the year.

How can I get Involved?

Please inquire about current opportunities at your local LA County Library.
