Volunteering

A Windsor Public Library Volunteer is an individual who, beyond the responsibilities of paid employment, freely assists the Windsor Public Library in the accomplishment of its mission without expectation or receipt of compensation. Windsor Public Library’s volunteers are an important addition to the Library’s staff.
Volunteers perform specific duties that are important to the institution.

To apply electronically, download an application form on your computer, fill the form, save a copy and send your completed application to the contact shown below. Applications submitted electronically will be signed during orientation.

Please note that proof vaccination is also required for all volunteers.

The Windsor Public Library reserves the right to decline involvement in its volunteer program by anyone it assesses to be unsuitable. The decision of the Windsor Public Library is final in these matters.
