A slide with the text "Earn high school community service hours at the Friends of the Southbury Public Library Book Donation Day on Saturday, October 14! Two time slots are available: 9:30am-12:30pm and 12:30pm-3:30pm."

The Friends of the Southbury Public Library are looking for teen volunteers during their Donation Day on Saturday, October 11, 2023. Two shifts are available: 9:30am to 12:30pm and 12:30pm to 3:30pm; interested volunteers can sign up for one or both shifts.

Interested volunteers would be helping to unload book, DVD, and similar donations from people's cars and bringing them into the Lower Level Friends Book Sale Area. They might also help sort book and other material donations. Teen volunteers will be working mostly in groups with other teen volunteers and Friends of the Southbury Public Library members. 

If you would like to to volunteer on Donation Day, please fill out this Google Form by Wednesday, October 11.

Long Term Weekly Volunteering:

Our long term weekly volunteers are highly motivated teenagers who are interested in volunteering at the same time for an hour every week and have a strong level of interest and enthusiasm. They assist with activities like shelving books, cleaning, and preparing storytime crafts. Duties vary each week, but are typically shelving heavy. We define long term for at least a few months or a season.

This form is only for young adult volunteers between the ages of 12 and the summer after their senior year of high school. If you are an adult interested in volunteering at the library, please fill out our Adult Volunteer Application.
