"Service is the rent each of us pays for living - the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time or after you have reached your personal goals."  Marian Wright Edelman

Each year hundreds of volunteers contribute their time, talents and energy by assisting library staff and extending community outreach for the library. The process is simple! Complete an online volunteer application form, and our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to schedule an interview. We'll match your schedule and interests to our needs, and provide training prior to your volunteer assignment.

Whether you can help weekly, monthly, or just several times a year, opportunities are available to suit your schedule. For more information call (412) 366-8100 x104 or email our Volunteer Coordinator Kellie Kaminski at kaminskik@einetwork.net.
