Every now and then, libraries need a little extra love from the communities they serve. You can volunteer away your library fines at a rate of $20 per hour while helping the library maintain a clean and welcoming environment.

Volunteers will be responsible for:

  • Book cover cleaning – Use disinfecting wipes to reinvigorate dingy books.
  • Bookshelves – Dust shelves and organize library materials.
  • Deep cleaning computers – Use disinfecting wipes to disinfect computer mice and mouse pads and compressed air to remove any dust particles or debris.
  • Material inspection – Check books for torn pages, pen marks, etc.

This is a perfect opportunity for families interested in volunteering away their library fines.

  • Must be able to commit to the full session
  • At this event, we kindly ask that only families participate as volunteers. Thank you for understanding.
