Getting Involved
Volunteer at the Hastings Public Library
The Hastings 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 Hastings Public Library director to discuss how to help the library.
All volunteers aged 18 and older will be required to complete PATCH and Child Abuse History Clearance background checks.
