Volunteer

Library volunteers take a central role in efforts to provide resources and services to both Minnesota library patrons and other users across the country to help keep them connected and informed.

For current openings, please visit the library’s VolunteerMatch webpage.

Note: Due to COVID-19, we are not accepting on-site volunteers at this time.
