Interested teens should SUBMIT AN APPLICATION and review our Teen Volunteer Code of Conduct.

If you have any questions, email teen@bexleylibrary.org or call the youth department at 614-231-2878.

Already a Volunteer? LOG IN.

Volunteering is about giving, contributing and helping others and volunteers are important to the carrying out the work of the Bexley Public Library. Unfortunately, during this time the library is closed and likely throughout time that we must stay socially distanced, the Bexley Library feels it is prudent to postpone augmenting our work with volunteers. Please check back later for updates. Thanks for your interest in volunteering at the library!
