What do SRP volunteers do?
Teen volunteers are a vital part of our summer programming. Volunteers help with all types of work, from signing up participants, to stamping Summer Reading Logs, and handing out weekly prizes. They may also be asked to help with the day-to-day business of the library, as well as contributing their own special skills on an as-needed basis. Volunteers should be prepared to attend a mandatory orientation and to work a minimum of one shift per week for the duration of the library’s Summer Reading Program which runs June 3rd through July 29th.
Special events are where our volunteers will really shine. Volunteers may be asked for assistance during arts & crafts or story time programs, helping with setting up and tearing down, and with sharing information about our events. Teen volunteers play an important role at the Library during the busy summer schedule.
What do I need to become a SRP volunteer?
All volunteers must be able to attend an orientation session in order to be considered for the SRP volunteer program. If you cannot attend the orientation date, please contact Jen Vossen at erniepyle@cabq.gov
City policy requires background checks for anyone aged 13+ before being considered to volunteer for the Library. There is no cost to the applicant. Background checks must clear before volunteers attend orientation in order to volunteer during the program.
