How do you volunteer?

Fill out the volunteer application, which can be found here: Volunteer Application.
Return it to the library and the library will contact you if we have a volunteer position that matches you.

  • Volunteers under 18 need a parent or guardian signature.
  • Volunteers over 18 will be asked to submit to a background check.

You can also volunteer with the FRIENDS of the Heights Libraries!

Friends of the Heights Libraries is a 501(c)(3) organization that raises funds to help sustain and support specialized programming for adults and children at the four branches of the Heights Library system. The FRIENDS have many volunteer opportunities from sorting donated books for their ongoing book sales, to helping bring donated collections of book and media to Library, to staffing our Mega Book Sales and the Harvey and Friends Bookshop.
