Volunteer with the DC Public Library!

The District of Columbia Public Library (DCPL) is a vibrant center of activity for residents and visitors in the nation's capital. The library provides environments that invite reading, learning and community discussion and equips people to learn all their lives, to embrace diversity and to build a thriving city. DCPL is proud to be a recognized force in the community for engaging the mind, expanding opportunities and elevating the quality of life.

DCPL offers regular and periodic volunteer opportunities, including a teen- and high school-specific volunteer program, for interested individuals ages 14 and up.  Whether you are new in town, a long-time District resident, college student or library professional, DCPL could use your support to carry out its important work. With 24 neighborhood libraries, in addition to DCPL's central Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library, there is bound to be a convenient location near you.
