Volunteers

Library Volunteers have been a vital resource over many years allowing the library to expand services to patrons and the community through their dedicated fundraising efforts, and performing countless hours of service in support of library initiatives.

How to become a UMFPL Volunteer? Volunteers are recruited, screened, selected, trained and evaluated just as paid staff are. Their skills and abilities must match specific library needs. Therefore, we do not accept everyone who applies. We have the responsibility to ensure that our volunteer force fully supports and supplements UMFPL staff performance.
