Getting Involved

Volunteer at the Carrolltown Public Library

The Carrolltown Public Library welcomes volunteers to help with different tasks, including assisting with or providing storytime and Summerquest programs. Volunteers are also needed to help with library operations, including shelving books, cleaning, and other tasks.

Volunteers should reach out to the Carrolltown Public Library director to discuss how to help the library.

All volunteers aged 12 and older will be required to complete PATCH and Child Abuse History Clearance background checks. These clearances are free to volunteers and can be completed on the PATCH Website and the PA Child Welfare Website. Volunteers do not need to obtain federal background checks that require fingerprinting.

Friends of the Library at Carrolltown Public Library

If you are interested in participating at special events with the library, the Friends of the Library is an informal group of local community members who assist the library when needed, and do not meet on a regular basis. Please reach out to the library if you’d like to be included in the Friends group.
