Volunteers are a vital part of Chattahoochee Valley Libraries!

Thank you for your interest in the Chattahoochee Valley Libraries’ volunteer program. Here at Chattahoochee Valley Libraries, we are thrilled to offer a volunteer program that allows individuals, ages 12 and older, the opportunity to gain valuable service skills, while making a difference in the lives of others. Volunteer opportunities are available whether you are seeking required volunteer hours, court appointed community service, or just plain interested in gaining work experience and giving back to the community.

We are seeking volunteers 14 years of age and older to help set up, operate book sale, and assist in serving dinner on the evening of Friday, May 15th. Volunteers are also needed for morning and afternoon shifts to assist staff at multiple stations on Saturday, May 16th. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to work alongside some of the most beloved children’s authors, illustrators, and entertainers! New applicants may complete the online volunteer application here.

Step 2- Complete required forms

Adult volunteers (over 18 years of age) must submit a completed Background Release Form in order for applications to be considered.

Teen volunteers must submit a completed Parent Release Form in order for applications to be considered.

Completed forms may be emailed to cvlvolunteer@cvlga.org, faxed to 706-565-8669, or returned in person on the third floor of the Columbus Public Library. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Step 3- Interview/Orientation

Before volunteering with Chattahoochee Valley Libraries, all volunteers are required to attend orientation and training. During orientation, the Volunteer Coordinator will give an overview of program guidelines and expectations. Volunteers are then provided “on-the-job” training at their assigned branch or department prior to the start of service.
