Brockville Public Library offers volunteers a diverse range of volunteer opportunities including:
-
Assistance with children, teen, adult and family programming
-
“Behind the Shelves” supporting our staff
-
Helping our patrons with their library needs such as computer literacy
Please fill out the volunteer application and return it in person to a staff member at the circulation desk or fax it to the number found at the bottom of the application*. Your application will be reviewed by the volunteer coordinator, after which you will be contacted for a brief interview. Volunteers 18 years of age or older must undergo a police records check, which the library will pay for before they are assigned volunteer positions.
