Two of our branches operate with only one staff librarian and utilize volunteers to complement customer service activities for all hours of operation. We take great pride that several of our volunteers have remained active for more than 10 years. We have a diverse, fresh force of volunteers that do a wide variety of tasks. Volunteer opportunities can be found in technical services, tutoring, and public services. SPPL places a high value on volunteer participation.
All volunteers receive specialized training and are active in promoting library programs.
An interview will be scheduled, discussing time commitments, skills, and interests. An average volunteer commitment is two hours a week for a six month period. There are many positions which complement different schedules, skills, and interests.
