Our Volunteers are our family

Become a part of something fun

Our volunteers come from a mix of backgrounds and life experiences, but one thing that sets us a part from other organizations, is that once you become a volunteer, you become family.


We provide an 80% laid back format to your volunteer hours. Relax and work at your own pace. 


The other 20% is all hands on deck for in-house and huge community events. We call it controlled chaos. Large events are not for everyone, and that's ok. You get to choose which events you want to work and what shifts fit your active lifestyle.

Be a part of something incredible

The SDCL is 100% volunteer run. And without the volunteers, the library would be just a place to hold books. But if you have been here, you know this library operates completely different than other libraries. We are not a quiet library. We interact with our patrons and we are truly happy to see them, work with them to find the right book, and help create events to engage every patron that walks into our doors.

As a volunteer, you help create a magical experience for our patrons. Our goal is to exceed our patron's expectations, and offer a truly incredible experience each time they come in.

For the SDCL it is not about books, it is about community.

Work around your active schedule

When you become a volunteer, we ask that you set aside at least 2 hours for your shifts. It can be daily, weekly, or monthly depending on your availability.

We will work with you to find the best jobs and best schedule for you.
