Book your future at the library.

The library‘s a great place to be, whether you‘re involved as a volunteer or one of our hundred or so staff members. Learn more about how and when to apply.

How do I apply to work at the library?

Check our “job openings page”/about_us/jobs/open_positions.html to see if there are job openings and find out what you need to do to apply.

When should I apply?

Applications are accepted only when positions are open. Applications are not kept on file, so you need to apply again for each position you are interested in.

Submit a volunteer application form, and our volunteer coordinator will get in touch with you. Check our volunteer page for details.

How old do I have to be to work or volunteer at the library?
