library volunteers
Free book assistants
Library volunteers are unpaid helpers who assist with library operations—shelving books, staffing information desks, running programs, or helping patrons with technology.
Many are retirees, students fulfilling service requirements, or community members who value literacy: The library volunteers read to children every Saturday morning.
