When to volunteer:
We accept volunteers all year long, but there are times when
we need a little extra help.
Summer is our busiest time of the year and we are always
looking for friendly and helpful teens to help at our various programs and
crafts with the younger kids.
Our bi-annual book sales (in May and December) also require
volunteers to move and unload boxes of books.
Below are our volunteer orientation videos for summer
volunteers, which will familiarize you with some of the things you’ll be
helping with over the summer.
If you have any other questions contact the Juvenile Department through 281-482-7135 or talk to a librarian in the Juvenile/Children's Department.
