If you’ve got time and talent, we’ll
give you the tools to make a difference @ your library! The Stanislaus County Library has
volunteer opportunities for people with a variety of skills.
- Read/Succeed – Volunteers with a desire to help other adults
improve their reading, spelling and math skills are needed for the Read/Succeed adult
literacy program. There are always more students than tutors available – your help is
needed and will make a big difference in someone’s life! For more information, call
558-4505.
- Bridges to Technology – If you have strong computer and Internet
skills and like to work with people, Bridges to Technology might be for you. The library
has curriculum developed for Basic Computer Skills, Introduction to the Internet and
Intermediate Internet, Microsoft Word, Print Shop and Genealogy on the Web. Please contact
Amy Taylor or Stacey Chen at 558-7814 for more information about becoming a volunteer
instructor.
- Home Delivery Services – For those who can’t come to the
library because of advanced age or illness, Home Delivery Services provides an invaluable
service. Volunteers are needed to help select and deliver books/books-on-tape. Just a
little volunteer time can open the door to the world through books for local residents.
For more information on how you can help, please call 558-7817.
- Circulation – Volunteers help clean and maintain books. For more
information, call 558-7808.

support to their respective libraries. For more information on how you can get involved as
