The mission of the Fairfax County Public Library is to enrich individual and community life by providing and encouraging the use of library resources and services to meet the evolving educational, recreational and informational needs of the residents of Fairfax County and the city of Fairfax.

Teen volunteers work throughout the 23-branch library system helping with tasks such as straightening and organizing shelves, putting materials in alphabetical order, signing up participants for the Summer Reading Program, setting up and cleaning up after programs, and other general administrative duties. Exact duties will vary from branch to branch. Volunteer positions for youth are limited and fill up quickly, so contact the library branch where you wish to volunteer well in advance to see if there are any openings. A list of branches and volunteer coordinators can be found on the library’s website: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/library/volunteer/coords.htm

Minimum Age: 12

Times Needed: Weekdays after school, evenings, or weekend days

All volunteers must complete an application for their particular branch.
