I have always gone to the library growing up. It is where I spent my time after school.

It seems like a nice way to help out the library. Also, for people like me, who haven't volunteered here before: no experience or specific training is required.

I have been volunteering weekly at the main branch of the Nashville library for about two months. I love it! The volunteer program is very well-organized, and the assignment I applied for (and received) turned out to be a great match for my skills. They provide training, as well, so you don't need to have any experience to get started. I also have the opportunity to volunteer in other departments and at special events as I am able, in addition to my regular weekly assignment. They even tried to help me find a special assignment to fulfill a requirement for one of my college courses. Everyone I've interacted with has been helpful and a pleasure to work with!
I don't see myself leaving the library any time soon, and will probably volunteer there as long as they'll have me. I highly recommend the Nashville library!
