Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Seekonk Public Library. As an agency of town government, the library does not use volunteers in place of staff. The library is supported however by two non-profit organizations that may need volunteer help. These are the Friends of the Seekonk Public Library and the Seekonk Library Trust These two organizations raise funds to supplement library programs.
Please use the link to the right to download an application form. The form lists several jobs that are available for volunteers. Please fill out the application if you find any of them interesting. Leave the form with a staff person at the Customer Services Desk or mail it to the library to the attention of Peter Fuller. The library will forward your application to the either the Friends or the Library Trust depending on your interests.
Your application will be kept on file until an opening occurs. Someone from either the Friends or Trust will call you to arrange for an interview when there is an opening. When selecting candidates, preference is given to those willing to make a long term commitment. Short-term volunteers are only called for special projects, and these opportunities are extremely limited.
Because of potential liability issues, you must be at least fourteen years old to volunteer. The library will also not consider people who need to perform court-ordered public service. Town of Seekonk requires all volunteers working in Town Departments must have criminal background checks and that they must sign a waiver of liability. Please use the links to the right to download both the waiver form and criminal background check form. Please review these forms carefully as they must be signed by you before starting as a volunteer.
For more information, please email Peter Fuller, Associate Director at pfuller@seekonkpl.org or call him at (508) 336-8230, extension 110.
