Township of Upper St. Clair Library: Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers Opportunities

A variety of volunteer programs are available at the library.

Adult Services

In addition to helping with the many activities of the Friends of the Library, volunteers are also needed for the circulation desk, shelf reading and other projects.

Fill out a form available at the library or online Volunteer Profile Questionnaire (PDF) so that the library can fit your interests, experience and availability to the needed jobs.

Students can volunteer at the USC Library in the following ways:

Volunteer Thursdays:

Volunteer for 1 hour between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Sign up for one of the following services:
- Adopt a Shelf/Section: Adopt a shelf of books in the Library! It will be your task to make sure that it is in order, and looks great.
- Peer Review Board: Have you read a great book that you think others should read? Use your hour at the Library to type a review for our review board.
- General Volunteering: Tasks include helping us get ready for programs, maintenance of the Library and much, much more!
Display Case:

If you are a collector or hoarder of a particular thing, you have the opportunity to showcase your collection in the Juvenile Library's display case. Volunteers are required to see Miss Colleen in person to sign up for a month long exhibit. In order to fully complete this task, volunteers must design their display, install it, write a few paragraphs explaining the collection, and remove it after one month. This activity is worth up to 3 hours of service.
Design a Book Cart Poster:

Calling all artists! Choose a theme from our list of topics and design a poster for a book display cart in the Juvenile Library. Volunteers are required to see Miss Colleen in person to sign up for this activity. In order to fully complete this task, volunteers must choose their theme, design a mock-up and have it approved, and then create the poster on a poster board. The Library will provide all of the necessary supplies on an as-needed basis. This activity is worth up to 5 hours of service.

Summer Volunteering 2008

Registrations for summer volunteering begin on May 19, and slots are available on a first come, first served basis! For more information, please contact Colleen Miles at 412.835.5540 or milesc@einetwork.net.
