The Tigard Public Library has over 100 volunteers actively involved in helping the Library staff to better serve the public. One of the following positions may interest you. Please note that there may not be openings for a particular position at a particular time. Several collections in the library could use some TLC from a volunteer. Shelf-readers also straighten and organize the stacks in their areas.
Hours are flexible.
Shelving volunteers may also be asked to do some shelf reading and general straightening as time allows. The Information Station is the first point of contact for most patrons as they enter the Library. The person at the Information Station answers phones, directs patrons to various areas of the Library, and answers general questions. Ideally, it should be someone who has volunteered at the Library in different capacities and generally knows how the Library operates. This procedure involves reinforcing the spines of newly purchased paperback materials, stamping the book in three places and placing security strips in these materials.
