Volunteering

Volunteers are the library’s helping hands! Volunteers help prepare crafts for story times, tutor younger students, clean and sanitize the library so it remains an inviting place, and so much more!

To be considered, please fill out the online form to tell us a little more about your interest and availability for volunteering. Please give the library a few business days for your interest form to be reviewed and for the library to get in touch with any next steps.

Applicants need to be at least 12 years old to volunteer.

New volunteers can direct questions to Douglas Lord at 203.797.4505 ext. 7702 or by email at dlord@danburylibrary.org.
