Volunteer

Volunteers are important to the success of the Springdale Public Library and to the delivery of its services to the citizens of Springdale.

The Springdale Library values the time and commitment of citizens who volunteer. Volunteers partner with staff to provide support necessary to implement the mission and programs of the library system. Volunteers of the Library serve in many capacities. However, volunteers will not be placed in positions that could jeopardize the library’s ability to operate if the volunteer failed to report to work.

Volunteers are viewed as a valuable resource and therefore the staff of the Springdale Public Library aims to give volunteers meaningful responsibilities, appropriate orientation and training, effective supervision and recognition. Volunteers are expected to perform their tasks to the best of their abilities and to remain dedicated to the mission and vision of the Springdale Public Library.

All volunteers aged 18 and older will be required to pass a background check.

We do not accept volunteers who are fulfilling court-ordered hours.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Springdale Public Library. We are accepting volunteer applications for the annual booksale Oct. 4-8. For more information, please contact the Adult Volunteer Coordinator, Nina Hodgson, by email at nhodgson@springdalelibrary.org.

    What is the Young Adult Student Society (YASS)?

    Calling all students in grades 6 – 12! After a multiple year hiatus, we will restart the Young Adult Student Society (YASS) in September. This is an excellent way for young adults to be active in the Library while also working on literacy based skills such as teamwork, communication, creativity, and critical thinking! The purpose of the Young Adult Student Society is to allow young adults, grades 6 – 12, to be a part of the Library and assist in brainstorming new programs, services, etc. that could improve Young Adult services at the Library. We will have a monthly meeting on the 2ND Monday of each month at 4:30 pm.

    The YASS Leadership Board

    Want to do more than just attend a monthly meeting? Those in grades 9 – 12 can apply to be members of the YASS Leadership Board. The Leadership Board will assist the Young Adult Librarian in leading meetings and events, plan and assist in YA programs, and make recommendations that affect how the Library serves young adults. YASS Leadership Board applications are accepted year round. Volunteer hours are given to all who participate on the Leadership Board. For more information, please contact the Young Adult Librarian, Jen Johnson, via email at jjohnson@springdalelibrary.org or telephone at 479-750-8180.
