Volunteer at the Seaside Public Library!
Volunteers are vital to the operation and resources offered at the library in ways seen and unseen. Our community benefits by everyone who dedicates their time, no matter how long, at the Seaside Public Library. By committing yourself as a volunteer you can learn new skills while serving alongside our team with a schedule that works for you.
Volunteers at the library typically assist with at least one of the following:
-
Provide easy access of available physical materials through re-shelving of returned items.
-
Ensure materials can be effortlessly located in the collection by straightening and confirming materials are correctly organized.
-
Properly prepare new materials to be added to the collection.
-
Appropriately mend damaged materials.
-
Take on special projects as assigned.
-
Time commitments and possible schedules will be discussed during the application and interview process. There is no minimum time commitment we ask of our volunteers and we do our best to accommodate preferences while balancing the needs of the library.
1) Print out a Seaside Public Library volunteer application or pick one up at the library. Fill it out as best as you can and return the completed application to the library. One note before applying is that the Seaside Public Library does not participate in offering community service hours for those looking to satisfy that requirement.
2) Meet with the Assistant Library Director for an interview. If selected for an interview, you will be contacted to schedule a day and time to meet.
3) If selected for a position, you will work out a schedule with the Assistant Library Director, come in for a few training shifts, and then you’ll start your volunteer journey!
