Volunteer Opportunities at the Foothills Branch Library

Summer Reading Volunteers--Summer volunteers typically serve 2 hours each week, and are expected to be available to volunteer for at least 6 weeks during the SRP season. Summer Reading begins May 29th and runs through July 28th. Our teen volunteers are critical to the success of our busy summer reading season. SRP volunteers assist with numerous library activities: program preparation; book, video and audio organization; prize distribution, and program participation. Note that some of the tasks can be mundane or repetitive. If you would like an ongoing volunteer experience, submit an application at the youth reference desk. Click here for an application . Applications for Summer 2012 are due by Wednesday, May 16th. You are encouraged to turn in an application as soon as possible as our openings are quickly filling. Once called for volunteering, the teen applicant will have a brief interview, and a training session will be scheduled. For more information about being a library volunteer, please email Emily Linkey at 623-930-3841.

One Time Volunteering -- With many schools requiring volunteering for classwork, the Foothills library offers teens the opportunity to volunteer on a limited basis. This option is only available for teens, 12-18, who school assigned volunteer hours. At the beginning of each month, teens may sign up for two-hour time slots with a maximum of once per week. Space is very limited and subject to change. To sign up for a time slot, go to the youth reference desk. For more information, please email Emily Linkey at 623-930-3841.
