Volunteer at NYPL

Current Volunteer Opportunities:

OUTREACH VOLUNTEERS  - Midtown locations and Tompkins Square Library

Our Community Outreach and Engagement team is looking for a few volunteers to help with greeting residents and explaining the setup of the space (where the books are, activity sheets for kids, etc), library card sign ups, talking about library resources, and answering general questions. 

HERCC sites are at three locations in the midtown Manhattan area. Shifts are Tuesday, Wednesdays or Thursdays from 1pm to 5pm, once a month.
 
We also have outreach at our Tompkins Square Library every Monday from 12 noon to 2pm.
 
We are looking for Spanish, French, Portuguese or Wolof speaking volunteers for both of these opportunities. Please email volunteer@nypl.org and let us know of your interest.

 

ITALIAN LANUGAGE TUTOR - Morris Park

Are you fluent in Italian? Would you like to share your love of the Italian language with others?
Morris Park Library is looking for someone to lead a program helping others to learn basic Italian on Mondays at 11am.

If you are interested, please send an email stating your interest to volunteer@nypl.org. Thank you!

 

KNIT or CROCHET TUTOR - Tremont Library

Are you experienced at knitting or crocheting? Would you like to share your enthusiasm with others? Tremont Library would love to have a volunteer-led program twice a month on Thursdays from 2pm to 3pm.  (Other times are possible.)
