Volunteer at the Library

Salem Public Library
Volunteer Form

Please fill out the volunteer application and send it in. Library volunteer coordinators will make an appointment to interview you. The volunteer coordinator will tell you if the library has any current openings and what jobs need to be done. Often there are special library projects which offer a good way to get acquainted as a volunteer and to give short term service. You should be prepared to offer at least two hours of your time a week.
