Volunteer

Volunteers are very important to the great experience and quality of service at the Land O’ Lakes Public Library.

Volunteers help out in many ways, including:

  • Circulation – checking books in and out
  • Shelving books and other materials
  • Preparing books and other materials for the shelves – applying book protection covers, CD and DVD protectors, affixing labels
  • Repairing books
  • Searching for and preparing books and other materials for Interlibrary Loan delivery and/or for the hold shelf when received
  • Calling patrons when Interlibrary Loan materials have been received
  • Managing overdue lists
  • Correspondence to donors
  • Volunteering in the Library Garden

TO VOLUNTEER, CALL THE LIBRARY OR STOP IN.

We are proud of our dedicated volunteers who contribute their time and talents to make us a true community library.
