Lend a hand at the library

Occasionally, we all need an extra hand! If you’re looking for a rewarding opportunity to positively impact the community you call home, we’d love to have you submit an application. When we have an opening, we'll contact you!

Types of Volunteers

Adult volunteers can help with a variety of tasks around the library including cleaning, shelving, processing materials, scanning books, and assisting with special programs. Scroll down to fill out the volunteer interest form! You may also want to visit westfieldin.gov to find other organizations in the area looking for volunteers!

Give your input on upcoming teen programs and help us improve our YA collection and Teen Room. The Teen Advisory Board gives teens a chance to earn service hours, grow their leadership skills and be actively involved in library experiences. The Teen Advisory Board is open to teens in 7th through 12th grades. Applications open in August and meetings are held monthly from September to May. Fill out the application on the Teen Page.

Student Volunteers will help the library with the Summer Reading Program. Accepting applications from now until May 15, 2025. After May 15, applicants will be put on a waitlist. Scroll down to fill out the volunteer interest form!

Where can I learn more about your volunteer policies?
Our Volunteer Handbook is our most comprehensive resource about volunteer expectations and rules.
How old do you have to be to become a volunteer?
We welcome volunteers ages 13-18 for the Summer Reading Program from June 1st through July 31st.
What if I am unable to volunteer on a day I am scheduled?
The library asks that you treat your volunteer position as you would paid employment. Please notify the volunteer coordinator if you will not be in on your scheduled day. If you want to take a leave of absence or an extended vacation please notify the volunteer coordinator.
How does a student volunteer for the Summer Reading Program?
If you’re a new volunteer, you must attend one of our Volunteer Orientation Sessions before the Summer Reading Program begins. Fill out our volunteer application below to get started.
Do you have any opportunities for students to volunteer throughout the year?
We don’t have enough project work for both adults and teens throughout the year which is why we normally only utilize volunteers under 18 during the summer months. You can try a website like volunteermatch.org to find other opportunities in the area.
