We welcome dedicated individuals to apply to volunteer at the Addison Public Library. We currently have three in-person volunteer opportunities as well as one at-home volunteer opportunity. To be considered for the in-person positions please complete a volunteer application and email it to Kathy Welko. Qualified candidates will be contacted for interviews. Addison Public Library takes the health and safety of the public, volunteers, and staff seriously so we want to ensure all volunteers complete an orientation and training prior to volunteering.

Please make small hearts that fit in the palm of the hand. Any medium is welcome but please use supplies that are safe for all ages. Once the library reopens, completed hearts can be dropped off in the donation box in the lobby of Addison Public Library. Email Kathy Welko with questions or for more information.
