Student Volunteers
Baltimore County Public Library welcomes students who need service
learning hours.
The following is what we offer students and what we expect of them.
The main tasks of students volunteering at the library are shelving books and
shelf-reading sections to keep them in order. Although the responsibilities are not
limited to shelving and shelf-reading they are the main tasks because of the limited time
we have with the students. Some other possible tasks: clearing book carts, shifting the
book collection and sorting delivery. Training in the different tasks depends on how
efficient the students are at shelving, the volume of the workload in the library and the
number of hours the student is volunteering.
There are more applications
submitted than we have openings to fill and there are always student volunteer
applications on file in the library. Periodically we review the applications and
set up an interview with the student. Before this happens it is the student's
responsibility to check with the school to be certain that the library is an
acceptable choice for fulfilling his or her volunteer hours.
We are looking for mature, dependable students who can follow directions.
We are interested in students who have a history of being punctual and polite. If you have
any questions pertaining to our volunteer program please feel free to call the library in
which you would like to volunteer and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator.
To become a library volunteer please consult the
map of Baltimore County Libraries to find the branch nearest you,
then complete and submit an application
form.
In April, middle school students wishing to become Summer Reading Club
Volunteers should call the local library in which they wish to volunteer.
Potential
Summer Reading Club volunteers should NOT complete the online application.
