If you want that feel good volunteer experience that has you up and moving, working with people, and feeling engaged in a family friendly event-this is the one for you! The website link is above and has photos and descriptions from last year's event to give you an idea of what to expect. This is great for individuals or for large groups of volunteers as we are trying to fill 50+ spots.
Date:
Saturday, December 1, 2018
Time:
7:30am-4:30pm (multiple shifts) WE ESPECIALLY NEED MORNING VOLUNTEERS!
Dress:
Comfortably and modestly, please wear closed toe shoes and clothing you can get dirty and move easily in

Misc.:
Remember to pack snacks/lunch and water! You will be given a break to eat and while there are places downtown to purchase food, we also recommend packing plenty of snacks and water. Although eating is not allowed inside the building, there are ample outdoor spaces to eat outside the library and across the street.

As the event approaches, volunteer enrollment forms will be sent and their return will be required in advance of the event.

Volunteers will serve as greeters, guides, assistants, and crowd control, and project assistants. This volunteer opportunity will involve being on your feet, interacting with patrons and makers of all ages, experiencing Central Library in a new way, and getting to participate in a fun and engaging event!
This volunteer event will involve a lot of walking, standing, moving, and interacting with the public/staff/makers. If you like a bustling day of helping out, this is for you!
At this time, parking is not free (apx. $8) so we highly recommend using public transportation and carpooling to get to Central Library in DTLA.

With more than 70 branch libraries and Central Library subject departments serving millions of Angelenos on a yearly basis, our programs are supported by thousands of volunteers in a variety of capacities. Whether providing one on one literacy tutoring, cutting out craft supplies for story time activities, helping serve summer lunch at the library, or serving as a Friend of the Library, all volunteers play a role in the work of LAPL.
If you would like to volunteer, but don't see a listing that matches your interests, please contact your local branch or the Volunteer Engagement Office. Opportunities and needs vary by location and fluctuate throughout the year.
Please note that the minimum age for volunteers is 14 (with the exception of 11-13-year-olds joining Teen Councils), minimum time commitments are required for most opportunities, adult volunteers working with children will be fingerprinted, and LAPL does not accept court-mandated community service.
