Volunteering
Lewiston Public Library is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers from the community. We currently have openings in BookReach and Shelf Reading in the Children’s Department. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out an application and return it to the library. We will contact you at the earliest opportunity.
BookReach is looking for volunteer readers!
BookReach is a community collaboration of volunteer readers who bring story times and books to children in licensed family childcare homes.
If you like children and reading out loud, please check out our BookReach page for details
The Children’s Department is looking for volunteer Shelf Readers!
Volunteer(s) needed in the Children’s Department for shelf reading! Do you enjoy spending time in the library and interacting with children’s books? Do you love to tidy up and create order wherever you go? Are you looking for a flexible volunteer opportunity? This could be a great fit for you!
Shelf reading is a very specific task – literally reading the shelves to make sure all the books are in the right place – but it can be very relaxing and satisfying for the right person. Attention to detail is a must!
Call 207-513-3133 or email lplkids@lewistonmaine.gov to learn more!
Volunteer Driver!
Fortunately, the library currently has an enthusiastic and dedicated Volunteer Driver. However, that may change; if this role interests you, please keep us in mind for the future:
