Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Framingham Public Library! We value the service of our volunteers.

There are two NEW volunteer positions available at the library, assisting the Young Adult Librarian, Marcy Maiorana! Descriptions are below, and instructions for how to apply are included in each position description. Thank you!

Currently, we select volunteers to shelf read our collection, which means checking the shelves to insure that books and other materials are in the proper order. In order to apply for this volunteer opportunity, please complete the application form and a C.O.R.I. (Criminal Offender Record Information) form and mail the forms to Michelle LeMonde-McIntyre, Community Services Librarian, Framingham Public Library, 49 Lexington Street, Framingham, MA 01702.

Next, follow up one week later by calling Michelle LeMonde-McIntyre at 508-532-6347 to set up a time for an interview and to take the Pages Test. In order for a candidate to be selected, the person must have both a high score on the Pages test and a clear C.O.R.I. report.

The library asks for a three-month minimum commitment from each volunteer, and the volunteer program at the library does not include court-ordered community service hours.
Opportunities are also available with the Friends of the Library’s booksale (508-879-0815) or with Literacy Unlimited, the library’s basic literacy and English-As-A-Second-Language program.
