Volunteer With Us
Thank you so much for your interest in supporting the library through volunteering. The library welcomes volunteers 13 years of age and older to work in the library. Permission of a parent or guardian is required for those under 18 years of age. Not all volunteer positions are available for patrons under the age of 18.
A volunteer performs tasks for the Antigo Public Library Public Library without wages, benefits, or compensation of any kind, including workman’s compensation.
Prospective volunteers must fill out and submit an application which will be reviewed by the Library Director. If no suitable job matches are available at the time, the applicant will be informed that their application will be kept on file for one year. If an appropriate position opens within that time, the application will be contacted.
Prospective volunteers will go through an interview with library staff.
Our current volunteer needs are listed on the right. Please read our volunteer policy before applying. To apply, download our application or pick one up at the library. If you are accepted for a volunteer role, you may also be required to fill out a background check form.
