We Love Our Volunteers!

The Aliso Viejo Library welcomes and encourages volunteers. They help the library flourish. We are fortunate to have a large number of quality volunteers. These positions are ideal for anyone interested in people, books, and the community. We are constantly recruiting new people. Many of our volunteers are from the local high schools. Often, students tell us that they have grown up loving the library and volunteering is just a natural progression for them. Other students contribute their volunteer hours for different service organizations. Both the library and the students benefit from their gift of time.

The Friends of the Library bookstore provides another opportunity for volunteers. The bookstore is open Monday through Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday 12:30 pm to 4:30pm. Its operation is totally dependent on volunteers. Proceeds from the bookstore provide enhanced programs, better collections and a more attractive library.

If you are interested in volunteering contact Candice Gallette, Volunteer Coordinator, at 949-360-1730.
