Volunteer at the Library

Thank you for your interest in serving our community through volunteer work at the Somerville Public Library! We are dedicated to providing services, materials, and space that meet the educational, cultural, recreational, and informational needs of all people in the community and we are excited about having you join us on this mission.

For more information about volunteering, please reach out to Brigid Pigott, our Literacy & Volunteer Coordinator at bpigott@somervillema.gov. Please note volunteer projects are based on the Library need and the availability of staff to coordinate and can vary throughout the year. Whenever possible, we try to match interests and areas of expertise however, flexibility with location, department, and project is always appreciated.

Our Volunteer Program is for individuals who are 18 or older.

We appreciate your assistance and wish you a productive and enjoyable time here!

Please note: All Volunteers are required to complete and pass a criminal background check (CORI), as well as complete SomerServe Volunteer paperwork prior to performing any volunteer work.
