Library Volunteers

The Toledo Lucas County Public Library offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. We receive tremendous support year-round at Main Library and all branch locations from a growing collection of volunteers. In turn, these volunteers enjoy knowing they contribute to one of our community's best-loved assets. If you are interested in donating your time, please visit your nearest library location.

When you volunteer at the Library you:

• Provide valuable assistance
• Learn more about your Library
• Gain meaningful experience
• Meet new people
• Make a difference in your community.

Who Volunteers?
Library Volunteers come from all walks of life, but must be at least twelve years old. If you love libraries and enjoy learning new things, we'll do our best to find the right volunteer job for you! Training will be provided.
