Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering

Want to give back to your community? Volunteering is a great way to support the library. We appreciate our volunteer's service and would love to talk potential volunteers. Volunteering opportunities are open to Rolling Meadow residents. Positions are filled based on need, availability and experience.

Kids:

Middle schoolers in grades 6 to 8 interested in collaborating with other kids and helping their community are encouraged to join the Middle School Advisory Board. The group meets monthly during the school year.

Teens:

Are you looking for something fun to do after school or need volunteer hours for school? If you are in grade 9 and up we have volunteer opportunities for you! Teen volunteers assist the youth services department with programming and help librarians with a variety of tasks.

Please print and fill out a volunteer interest form PDF Form, then return it to the Ask Me Desk on the lower level. Teen volunteers require parental permission to participate.

Adults:

If you’re friendly, patient, and enthusiastic about the library, we may have volunteer opportunities for you. To apply, please print and fill out a volunteer interest form PDF Form, then return it to the Readers Services Desk. Positions are filled based on need, availability and experience.
