Volunteers must be at least 14 years old.

Volunteers must be willing to commit to a regular schedule, as well as 2-4 hours per week of volunteering and a commitment of a minimum of 40 hours or 4 months of service, whichever is longer.

If you are looking for a short-term volunteer experience (less than 40 hours), please call Cassandra Jarles, Library Volunteer Coordinator, at 623-930-3544 or email libraryvolunteers@glendaleaz.com to discuss your options. Short-term volunteer assignments are not always available, especially for an immediate need. It is best to contact the library as soon as possible.

There are volunteer opportunities at all library locations, although there may not be vacancies for all positions at any given time. Volunteers primarily assist with program preparation and participation, organizing and shelving materials, and other tasks.
