Volunteering at the Library
August 1, 2016
Last year, over 300 volunteers donated nearly 10,000 hours of their time and expertise to help connect the community to our library programs and services.
Skokie Public Library's volunteer program is growing, and every facet of the library is enriched by it. From ESL conversation, to preschool storytime readers; one-on-one computer assistance to homebound book delivery, volunteers make it all possible. We are grateful to each and every one of them!
Volunteering at the library is a great way to use your talents, provide valuable service to the community, learn new skills and meet great people. Featured opportunities are listed below:
- Docents for an upcoming special exhibit (September to October,2016)
