You are invited to join our elite corps of dedicated volunteers! By sharing your time and talent with us, you can make a big difference in the quality of library service in your community.
Library volunteers work side by side with staff in every library activity. There is an ongoing need at most branches for help in giving out directional queries, encoding the collection in the databases, sorting and shelving, assisting with special projects such as library promotion and outreach library development, demonstrating new technologies to the public, answering and following up through phone, shelf-reading, assist in various activities such as storytelling, puppet shows, and more.
At present here are the projects wherein the volunteers can help:
- give general information queries of the library
- assist in encoding the index for Quezon City ordinances and resolutions
- assist in encoding the title index for QCPL Periodical Collection
- assist in updating the website, guides, bulletin boards, etc.
- assist in the inventory
- assist in managing different sections of the library
- assist in the various exciting events such as storytelling, puppetshows, module trainings, etc.
