Volunteering at the Hinsdale Public Library

Interested in helping serve our community? There are many ways in which you may be able to put your energy and talents to good use!

Adult Volunteers:

The Library has occasional needs throughout the year for volunteers to help with special events, book sale items, shelf-reading, homebound delivery and other library tasks. If you are interested in volunteering or have questions, please fill out a volunteer application form and mail or return to Molly Coleman, outreach and community relations coordinator, at volunteer@hinsdalelibrary.info.  Click here to view and print the adult volunteer form.

Volunteers: Grades 6 – 12 

Do you have special skills or talents that you would like to share with the Library? Do you need service hours toward confirmation, Scouts, National Honor Society, class assignments or for job experience and college applications?  Want to give back to the community and have fun, too? Do you have any special skills or talents you would like to share? The Youth and Young Adult Services Department has volunteer opportunities to help prepare programs, assist at Library programs and many other ways to assist staff and patrons.

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out a Winter/Spring 2012 application and return it to the Youth and Young Adult Services Desk. We will contact you to schedule hours within the next two weeks.

Community Service volunteers:

Under certain conditions, the Library accepts volunteers who are required to complete community service hours by the local court system or through a school district’s peer jury program. Completing your community service hours at the library depends on your individual circumstances and the availability of work during the time frame for completion of the required hours.

If you have any questions about community service hours, please contact Molly Coleman, outreach and community relations coordinator, at (630) 986-1976 , ext. 208, or by email at:  volunteer@hinsdalelibrary.info.
