Become a Volunteer!

New opportunities arise as new programs/events evolve.  Ongoing opportunities offer flexibility and others require a firm commitment on an ongoing basis.  We welcome your application as we offer variety, new friendships, and personal satisfaction while enriching RPL’s reputation as a community treasure.

At certain times of the year, RPL can entertain requests from students who need to perform a specific number of volunteer hours within a certain timeframe. We need two weeks’ notice for these kinds of requests and may not always be able to accommodate them.

In order to volunteer at Rostraver Public Library, anyone who is 18 years of age or older must either have or be willing to obtain the following clearances:

  • (Free) Child Abuse History Clearance
  • (Free) PA Criminal Record Check

The Library Director will help you obtain these clearances if you are selected as a volunteer. Please contact Ashley Artim, Library Director at ashley.artim@wclibraries.org or at 724-379-5511 if you have any questions.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the library. The Library’s volunteer program is currently at capacity and is not accepting new volunteers, but please check this page periodically for new opportunities.
