Nashville Public Library is a rewarding and fun place to volunteer.

Volunteers assist at all our locations. There is likely a location for you to volunteer which is convenient to work, home, or school.

Prospective volunteers are screened for aptitudes, skills, schedule availability, and preferences before being placed in available opportunities. Volunteers are placed based on best fit and not all prospective volunteers can be accepted.

Around 50% of volunteer assignments involve working with the collection:

• Shelving materials
• Locating requested materials
• Making sure shelved items are in the right place

Volunteers also provide:

• Clerical support
• Special event assistance
• Help for patrons using computers
