After completing a volunteer application, volunteers will interview with the Director of Operations and another staff member in the library. Selected volunteers will be background checked and trained prior to first shift. Training will include information on the library’s programs and program equipment, as well as answers to commonly asked questions. Staff will always be available for consultation. Ongoing updates and training provided as needed.
To get started, return a completed volunteer application and background check form (attached to the left) to the library to the attention of Lisa Henry or email lhenry@kirkwoodpubliclibrary.org. Volunteers ages 12 – 18 should visit the teen volunteer page.
