Volunteer

If you are looking to make a contribution to your Library, we have some suggestions.

Volunteer at the Library:

Adults 

Adult volunteers work on a variety of projects at the St. Charles Public Library, including shelving, retrieving items from the book drops, pulling on-hold items, assisting selectors to maintain parts of the collection and special projects. Applications for adult volunteers are available online and at the Reference Desk. Please return completed applications to the Adult Services Desk, attention: David Kelsey. For more information, contact David Kelsey, Outreach Services Librarian or call 630-549-8969, ext. 219.

Junior Friends are middle school students in grades 6 – 8 who volunteer their time in the Youth Services Department. Opportunities in this very popular program fill up fast.
