Volunteering
The minimum age to volunteer is 18 years old.
In order to begin volunteering with the Paul Sawyier Public Library, you will need to:
- Complete a volunteer application
- Complete a screening with the Volunteer Coordinator
- Complete and pass a criminal background check
- Be placed in a volunteer role
- Complete a mutually agreed upon schedule
- Complete ‘on the job’ or in advance training, depending on the volunteer role
The Library does not offer volunteer opportunities for court-ordered community service.
Volunteer roles have varying time commitments. Some require a long term commitment, for several months or even a year.
Volunteers are expected to fulfil their time commitment to the library as it is agreed upon at the time of acceptance and scheduling.
