Friends of the Library

Montclair Library Friends

The library can always use a friend! If you are interested in volunteer opportunities with the chance to occasionally hang out with other volunteer friends once in a while, come join us. There are a number of ways to help, for people with a range of interests and availability. Opportunities include:

• Shelving books
• Staffing the Library’s Welcome Desk
• Ushering at Open Book/Open Mind events
• Holding programs for community members
• Being a “ Library Ambassador” by sharing testimonials on social media, helping write letters to the local newspaper, and/or speaking at Town Council meetings

Anyone interested in volunteering with Montclair Library friends can apply at the link below or reach out to friends@montclairlibrary.org with questions.
