South Coastal Library's Valuable Volunteers

Duties
Volunteers are a prized part of the customer service team at South Coastal Library.   We rely upon South Coastal volunteers to complete a variety of duties to keep our facility running smoothly.  Our volunteers' primary goal is to serve our customers by keeping materials checked in, accurately shelved, and ready for the next reader. Occasional special projects may interest some members of our service team.  We reward our dedicated cadre of volunteers with a variety of incentive programs.

Qualifications
Our unpaid volunteers have remarked that library work utilizes more skills than are evident from the patron side of the circulation desk.  Volunteer assignments require dependable, detail-oriented workers who strive for accuracy and consistency, and who respect the confidentiality of our patrons.  Shelving books is a physically demanding activity, which requires much bending, stooping and stretching.  Flexibility and a friendly, helpful personality are a plus!

Applications
Are you ready to join our volunteer team?  Please stop by the circulation desk and pick up a volunteer application.  Our Volunteer Coordinator will review your application and contact you for an interview.  Although you may be contacted at any time, orientations are generally held once in spring and in fall.  Applications are kept on file for four months.  We hope you will join us at South Coastal!  Our volunteers’ donated time saves taxpayers’ dollars and contributes to our patron-friendly library and cultural center. Thank you for your interest!
