Volunteer Opportunities

To match your skill and talents to our volunteer opportunities, please read through the possible volunteer task choices below and complete the volunteer application. (These are general descriptions of tasks, and they differ at each library location and department. Depending on the task, you may want to volunteer once, once a week, once a month, or more.)

This summer, the Community Library Network will be out and about at a number of community events. If you would like to meet and greet the public side-by-side with library staff, this is your chance! Volunteer for events at any of our locations.

Are you Mr. or Ms. Clean?  Help us keep our libraries welcoming by watering plants, dusting shelves, light vacuuming, cleaning kids’ toys and counters, and wiping down books.  Depending on your interest, cleaning and organizing storage space is also needed.

If you enjoy working outside, we need volunteers to pick up litter, sweep walkways and other areas, shovel snow, and pull weeds.

Drop by and spend some time making copies, stamping envelopes, inventorying, and preparing materials for children’s programs.  Your help in counting fliers, tickets, crafts and books is also needed.  For those comfortable with technology, you can make slides for our digital photo frames, list lost and found items on Facebook, and do data entry.

Help us mend our older books and cover and tape our new ones.  We also need help in checking DVDs and cassettes for missing pieces.

Help us put up and take down seasonal decorations and organize and host book sales.  We also need help with programs including preparing snacks and setting up and cleaning up before and after them.  At large events, we could use volunteers to direct members to a program or staff person.

Two Friends of the Library groups support our programs through book sales.  The Friends of the Community Library Network has two annual sales, and the Friends of the Post Falls Library operates a used bookstore in the library. Both groups meet monthly and welcome new members.
