VOLUNTEERING

Interested in volunteering at WCPL? Terrific! We have a number of library tasks that we always need help completing:

  • Shelving returned or new books and materials

  • Assisting at the main desk

  • Assisting with children’s and teen programs

  • Assisting on the Lower Level

 

All adults 18 and older will need criminal and child abuse background checks per PA law. Those are free to volunteers and are available from PA State Police (click on their Volunteers Only box) and PA Child Welfare Portal. Prospective volunteers who have lived outside of Pennsylvania in the past ten years will be required to submit an FBI fingerprint based federal criminal history.
