CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!

Our library thrives due to a small cadre of dedicated volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, review the opportunities below and stop by the library and talk to the Librarian, Claudia.

Roslyn Library Volunteer Roles

Library TLC Crew

This team helps keep the library clean, welcoming, and pleasant for everyone who walks through the door. If you like visible results and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves, this is a great way to make an immediate impact. Frequency: monthly.

  • Clean shelves / dusting

  • Recycling

  • Landscaping / gardening (May – October)

Book Wranglers

Book Wranglers keep materials moving and organized so patrons can actually find what they’re looking for. This is hands-on, behind-the-scenes work that’s essential to daily library operations.

  • Shelving books and maintain alphabetization of kids books (daily)

  • Sorting and organizing books for book sale (quarterly)

Library Hype Team

The Hype Team helps connect the library with the wider community and keeps information fresh and visible. This is a good fit for creative communicators who enjoy sharing updates and engaging with the public.

  • Social media (weekly)

  • Outside reader board manager (align with upcoming events)

Muscle Club

This is the flexible, jump-in-when-needed crew for tasks that require extra hands or physical effort. Perfect for volunteers who want to help but can’t commit to a regular schedule. Frequency: on-call.

Seussapalooza

Seussapalooza is an annual community event and library fundraiser sponsored by the Friends of the Roslyn Library. We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make this event a success. Join the planning committee or volunteer at the event.
