Who volunteers at Ulysses Philomathic Library?
The Library currently enjoys the support of dozens of volunteers who generously share their knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm with our community. Their jobs include working behind the circulation desk, shelving books, and supporting our Spring and Fall Book Sales, all tasks critical to carrying out the mission of our Library.
Volunteers come to us from a variety of backgrounds. From retirees who want meaningful work to students fulfilling community service credits, we provide training and support to volunteers from all walks of life.
You must be 14 years of age or older to volunteer.
