LIBRARY VOLUNTEERS
Teen Volunteers
Information for Summer 2026 Teen Volunteers will be available starting April 13, with applications due May 4. Summer volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in the library's Reading Buddies program as well as assisting with other library programs throughout the summer. The library will accept applications from teens incoming 10th-12th grades. Hoover residents will be given priority over non-Hoover residents.
Friends of the Library
Adult volunteers are primarily recruited through our Friends group. Most of our Friends volunteers work quarterly book sales, but there are other opportunities available. Volunteers also assist with event planning and hospitality, recruiting new members, managing the Friends Facebook page, publicity, telephone reminders of meetings and other activities. Let us know if you have a special area of interest or are willing to help out in any of these areas by coming to the next Friends of the Library meeting or reaching out on the Facebook page.
Other Opportunities
From time to time, we also have temporary volunteer opportunities such as through our Helping Hands Newspaper Rolling program, where we roll our old newspapers for donation to the Greater Birmingham Humane Society. Check our event listings regularly to find these opportunities.
