Throughout the year, Mission Viejo Library welcomes teen volunteers and offers a community service program for teens wishing to fulfill scholastic requirements. The library is also seeking teens who would like to serve on the Teen Advisory Council and assist librarians with planning programs, selecting materials, and advising staff on teen issues. The Mission Viejo Library has many volunteer opportunities available. Provided 2 times a month with the Shelving University.
Processing includes stamping, labeling, taping and putting a cover on old and new materials.
System maintenance is also done by volunteers on PCs, including adding barcodes to the system, as well as some simple cataloging for paperback books. System maintenance requires the ability to use a computer, a mouse, and Windows '95 or higher. Due to space and PC limitations, all volunteers in Technical Services must be scheduled by the Technical Services Librarian or Library Assistant. Currently, there are no openings. Volunteer instruction will allow library staff to perform other critical public service duties.
