Volunteers in Public Libraries

Library volunteers contribute to the smooth functioning of public libraries in varying levels of involvement. In larger city centres, volunteers may be limited to tasks that are not vital to day-to-day functioning of the library as staff members may complete these jobs while being paid. In smaller cities and towns, however, library volunteers may play a large role in the day to day operations of the library due to lack of funds.

The Calgary Public Library takes on volunteers. They indicate in the FAQ that volunteers may not complete jobs that paid workers do, and ask such may only fill specific roles.
