Volunteer

We could not do the work we do at the MCL without the generous gifts of time and energy from our wonderful group of volunteers. Over eighty volunteers are actively involved with the Library, contributing over 2,600 hours of service a year. Volunteers help the Library in many ways with their unique talents, skills, and knowledge, connecting people and building community.

We welcome new volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering for the Library, the first step is to complete and return a Volunteer Application (see tab at right). Once your application is received, we will schedule a time to talk and discuss opportunities that may be a good fit with your skills and interests.

You must be at least 12 years old to volunteer at the Library. For those ages 12-17, please fill out the Teen Volunteer form (see tab at right).

More more information about volunteering, you may contact us at volunteer@mclvt.org or (802) 362-2607.
