Become a Volunteer!

The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library System is committed to fulfilling its mission through building and strengthening relationships throughout the community.  Volunteer time, energy and goodwill are invaluable assets to our libraries. 

Volunteers come from all walks of life and can be students, adults and/or from local organizations who wish to participate in a volunteer project at their local library.
