For Adults

Looking for volunteer opportunities? We recommend visiting North Shore Community Resources for information on local volunteer initiatives. https://volunteer.nscr.ca/

The Friends of the NVDPL are a group of community members dedicated to supporting and enhancing of NVDPL facilities, services and programs. If you love your Library and want to make a donation, become a member for $5 per year. There are also limited opportunities to volunteer at their book sales.

For Teens

During various times of the year, volunteering opportunities can include Book Buddies, Tech Tutoring, and help with special library events.

Contact TAG@nvdpl.ca to request to be added to our volunteer call-out email list, which is sent when any new opportunities arise.

Teens can also get volunteer hours by joining these programs:

• Teen Advisory Group

The Teen Advisory Group (TAG) is a group of high school students interested in being involved with the library. We want to hear your ideas, concerns and suggestions! We meet once a month during the school year to talk about teen services and programs and do fun stuff—make buttons, buy books, create activities for younger kids, be in parades, host photo contest receptions, etc. Always new & different—and there’s snacks.

• Read & Review

In this friendly book club, we read Advance Reading Copies of soon-to-be-published books and share our reviews! We meet monthly to discuss our books with fellow bibliophiles. Volunteer hours are earned for each review written.

Check the Programs & Events calendar for the upcoming meeting dates or email TAG@nvdpl.ca for more information.

To get more ideas for volunteer opportunities outside the library, look at the North Shore Youth Volunteer Directory.
