bannerNoText

What is the Volunteer Program?

The Volunteer Program is an integral part of the Library’s operation.  The Volunteer Services office will match your skills and interests to projects which suit your schedule and availability.  Volunteer assignments may be short-term or long term, and volunteers assist in the central library departments as well as the neighborhood branches.  In addition, volunteers assist with special programs throughout the year. 

Why Should I Volunteer?

  • You will make important contributions to library services in the community.
  • You will have the opportunity to share your interests and abilities with your community.
  • You will learn about the Pratt Library and its collections.
  • You will also gain work experience and skills.
  • You will help to promote education and enrichment to the citizens of  Baltimore and the state of Maryland

Volunteer Spotlight

Volunteers Needed

 

The branch libraries are interested in expanding our current after-school tutoring programs.  We are looking for volunteers to tutor at various branch libraries, for 1½- 2 hour shifts on weekdays.  Volunteers will set their schedules with the managers of the branches where they will volunteer.   

Retired teachers or librarians, or anyone with experience working with middle school and young adult students preferred, but anyone who wants to help is welcome.  There is a background check for volunteers for this program.
