Teens @ BPL

Teens who are either 12 or older or in grades 7-12 during the 2022-2023 school year can volunteer at the library! Help pull holds, assist with programs and crafts, and from September 6-October 11 read to a younger student in our Page Pal program.

Interested teens should SUBMIT AN APPLICATION.

Already a Volunteer? Log In.

If you have any questions, email teen@bexleylibrary.org or call the youth department at 614-231-2878.

Volunteering is about giving, contributing and helping others and volunteers are important to the carrying out the work of the Bexley Public Library. Unfortunately, during this time the library is closed and likely throughout time that we must stay socially distanced, the Bexley Library feels it is prudent to postpone augmenting our work with volunteers. Please check back later for updates. Thanks for your interest in volunteering at the library!
