Volunteer at Southgate Public Library

With the aid of volunteers, our library can run efficiently and smoothly. Helping us out with things great and small, we are so thankful for the volunteers' generous donation of time and effort, as well as their advocacy within the community.

If you are interested in being a volunteer at the library, either as a student for volunteer hours (ages 14+) or as an adult, fill out a Volunteer Application Form and drop it off at the circulation desk. Thank you for your interest!
