Volunteers The Queens Borough Public Library has borough-wide volunteer opportunities. We currently have over 1100 volunteers who share their knowledge, expertise, enthusiasm, energy and ideas throughout the borough. Queens Library volunteers also assist library staff with book sales, programs, sending out mass mailings, shelving books, creating databases and daily branch operations.
Volunteers do what they do because they love it, and because they want to.
There are no minimum service hours required for most positions. Our staff members welcome our volunteers. We obtain volunteers from many sources. We provide training and support to volunteers from all walks of life. Each year a Volunteer Recognition Ceremony and luncheon is held to honor our entire Volunteer Corps.
