We appreciate your choice to offer your time and abilities to the Perry Memorial Library! We periodically have volunteer opportunities. We ask that you fill out one of the applications below (adult or teen), so that we have your information. As needs and opportunities arise, we can then contact you.

Please fill out the Adult Volunteer Application found at the Reference Desk or complete the online application found below. We try to match our applicants' interests, abilities, and schedule with available positions. Your application will be kept on file for approximately one year, and you will be contacted if an appropriate position becomes available. If you have any questions, please contact the Adult Services Librarian at 252-438-3316 extension 234. Possible duties may include:

  • Straightening, dusting, shelf reading

Teens (Ages 13 to 18 years old):
