Library Volunteers

2025 – 2026 Library Duty Volunteer Request

Opportunity to VOLUNTEER at Brayton!

Volunteering in the Brayton Library is a wonderful way to become more involved in your child’s school experience. It’s a chance to support our librarian, Ms. Kaczynski, enrich the library experience for Brayton students, and help keep the library running smoothly. 

Brayton Library Volunteers are honorary librarians who commit to one dedicated time slot each week, with the school year divided into two sessions. Each shift runs about an hour to an hour and a half. Volunteer responsibilities include (but are not limited to): 

 

- Checking in returned books 

- Re-shelving books 

- Helping children select books 

- Checking out books 

- Creating and updating holiday displays 

- And more! 

 

Because volunteers are relied upon weekly, available slots are limited and will be assigned based on questionnaire responses.

 

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM INTERESTED IN BEING A LIBRARY VOLUNTEER?

 

Once you’ve reviewed the “Things to Consider” section below and are confident you can commit to a weekly slot, please complete the signup form by Monday, September 8, 2025, 11:59 pm. Late forms will be processed only if we need additional volunteers. The form is located in My Account under "Information Forms" when it is available for sign up. 

 

HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I AM SCHEDULED TO BE IN THE LIBRARY?

 

Selected volunteers will be emailed prior to the Training Sessions with your assigned day and time.  If you do not receive an email with an assigned schedule, you unfortunately did not get a time slot this year. 

 

THINGS TO CONSIDER: 

  • Parents may NOT be assigned to work during their child’s library class. 
  • There will be two sessions: 

â—‹ Session 1: 9/22/25 – 1/23/26 (seven volunteers) 

â—‹ Session 2: 1/26/25 – 5/29/26 (eight volunteers) 

  • Volunteers selected for each session will be assigned a weekly day and time based on questionnaire feedback. We kindly ask that everyone make their best effort to attend consistently. There will be no aide in the library this year, so volunteer support is more important than ever. 
  • A thorough training session will be provided, along with opportunities to shadow an experienced volunteer. Please indicate which training session works best for you on the questionnaire.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST IN LIBRARY DUTY!
