Volunteers are vital to our Library's mission. They help in a variety of ways both with our day-to-day operations and on special projects. Interested in helping the library? Here are a few volunteer opportunities: • Those interested in helping out with programs, “resume builders,” and others who want to assist in library duties are encouraged to complete this form. • Teens seeking community service hours should contact the Youth Services Librarian or Branch Manager of their neighborhood branch. • RVA Reads recruits volunteer readers to read to each preschool class at Richmond’s five regional preschool centers on a monthly basis (October-May). Apply to be a volunteer reader here. • Friends of the Library volunteers manage the semi-annual book sales and work throughout the library system shelving, checking reports, and more. Join the Friends here.
