Are you passionate about creativity? Do you love to learn? Would you like to teach and assist people in creating their own projects? We might have the perfect role for you: consider volunteering a few hours of your time each month in the Library’s popular Makerspace.
Each day, the Makerspace is visited by dozens of local patrons who are exploring new skills, pursuing creative endeavors, and just having fun. While Library staff is well equipped and regularly available, we’re currently seeking additional Makerspace guides to provide additional support.
Primary duties will include providing encouragement and guidance to patrons, problem-solving project challenges, leading tours, and ensuring Maker safety. In turn, volunteers will have access to Makerspace materials, equipment, and one-on-one training that will elevate their own maker capabilities.
Applying is easy: Complete an online application here. We will review your information and get in touch with next steps.
Library volunteers tell us they find great gratification in the work they do. One volunteer shared, “Tasks are rewarding because results are usually obvious and timely, I feel that I am contributing to the community and other patrons that enjoy library opportunities, I enjoy my work environment and relating to staff and other volunteers, and last but not least…it is just plain fun!”
Thanks to all Library volunteers, past and present and future, for the work you do to make our library so special!
