Volunteer Opportunities | Peterborough Public Library

There are several ways you can volunteer at the Library. Read on to see what opportunities are currently available.

Teen Library Ambassadors

We are looking for a group of teens to help us develop programs and services for other teens!

Our Teen Library Ambassadors (TLA):

Discuss ideas for collections and services in the Library
Plan and participate in programs and contests
Advise Library Staff on current trends and interests
Assist in promoting Library programs and services to peers in the community

Teen volunteers gain experience for work and school applications, develop leadership and teamwork skills, earn volunteer hours, and have a lot of fun along the way!

The group meets at least once a month for an hour in person on Wednesday afternoons.

Apply to be a Teen Library Ambassador

All applicants will be contacted within two weeks and invited for a short (15-20 minute) online interview.
