Volunteering
As of 9/23/19, the Teen Librarian is not seeking volunteers at this time.
Teens ages 14+ are eligible to volunteer at the Springfield Free Public Library. Volunteers are expected to plan, assist, and/or lead public programs for teens and/or children. Those interested in volunteering for the library can pick up a volunteer application from the Youth Services Department, in-person. Please understand that volunteer positions are limited and that the library cannot accommodate everyone seeking community service hours.
