Give Your Time--Volunteer at Your Library

The St. Louis County Library welcomes volunteers.  By donating your time and talents, you can help further the library's mission to support and enhance the community by providing free and equal access to ideas, information, and opportunities for lifelong learning.

For information on current openings, please contact Carrie Robb, Adult Program Coordinator at (314) 994-3300 ext. 474 or volunteer@slcl.org.

To volunteer at the St. Louis County library, you will need to complete a Volunteer Application.  All volunteers working around children will need to pass a criminal background check.

Friends of the St. Louis County Library Foundation Volunteers

Friends Volunteers assist with special events, including author programs, book sales, and foundation receptions.  Volunteers may:

• Greet author event attendees and hand out programs
