Thank you for expressing an interest in Chattahoochee Valley Libraries’ volunteer opportunities. Here at Chattahoochee Valley Libraries, we are thrilled to offer a volunteer program that gives individuals the opportunity to gain valuable service skills, while making a difference in the lives of others. Volunteers opportunities are available whether you are seeking required volunteer hours, court appointed community service, or just plain interested in gaining the work experience.

Step 1-Apply

Step 2-Complete required forms

Adult volunteers (over 18 years of age) must submit the Background Release form in order for applications to be considered complete.
Teen volunteers must submit the Parent Release form in order for applications to be considered complete.

Completed forms may be emailed to cvlvolunteer@cvlga.org, faxed to 706-243-2714, 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 with the Volunteer Coordinator. The Volunteer Coordinator will give a brief tour showing volunteers where to sign-in and out and where to keep his or her name badge and belongings. Volunteers are then given “on-the-job” training in their assigned branch or department.
