Volunteer Policy

 

Library Assistant Volunteers

[All WCPL Locations]
Volunteer commitment: as available
Due to our decreased funding the library has had to make drastic cuts in public service staff.  Many of the "non-public service" duties that staff had to do, like straightening shelves, cleaning, and keeping the library looking nice are difficult to accomplish with our smaller staff.  Job duties would include straightening, dusting, general cleaning of public areas, and various other non-public service duties.  Hours are flexible and you can volunteer for as much time as you like.  Contact your local Williams County Public Library for more information at 833-633-7323.
