Who can be a volunteer?
You must be a resident of the town of Winchester, MA and be at least 14 years old. Volunteers aged 18 + must also consent to a CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) check before starting their volunteer work.
What do volunteers do?
Possible jobs include shelf-reading and mending books. Most volunteer assignments do not require special skills. They do require dependability, a commitment of time, and the willingness to fulfill a chosen assignment. Per the Trustees Policy, the Library does not use volunteers as substitutes for regular paid staff.
What is the time commitment?
Volunteers should be willing to work a regular schedule of two hours per week for a minimum of three months. The library does recognize that volunteers may need some flexibility in scheduling and that last minute cancellations will occur.
How can I apply?
We currently do not have any open volunteer positions.
You may complete the volunteer application form or contact Admin Offices at 781-721-7171.
