Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer in the Library
Volunteers are a critical part of the Library's success. The minimum age for volunteering is 12. It's a great way for teens and adults to give back to the community and support the Library. When sharing your time and talents with Library staff, you will be able to work flexible schedules. Volunteer jobs may include:
- Shelving returned Library materials
- Assisting the cataloging department with processing materials
- Assisting with special programs/events
- Data entry
- Making copies and compiling forms and brochures
- General housekeeping activities
- Assisting with the Summer Reading Club
Volunteer applications are available at the Circulation Desk. The teen application for 12 -16 year olds, requires teen and parent signature. The adult application for 17 years old and up, (except CISD high school seniors), requires a background check. Teen Court volunteers, please call to schedule.
For more information about volunteer opportunities for those younger than 18, please visit the Teen Life page. If you have any questions or would like more information, please email or call Nicola Jesse, our Volunteer Coordinator, at (817)-748-8243.
