Do you love the library and want to give back? The Mattoon Public Library welcomes volunteers for all types of activities, including:

• Help with youth programs – story time, summer reading, and more!
• Assist in the Local History Center
• Deliver and pick up materials to homebound patrons
• Organize, set-up and/or work our book sales
• Maintain the book stacks (shelf reading, dusting, inventory, etc.)
• or work with our Volunteer Services Coordinator to identify a role curated to you and your skills/interests!

Our Volunteer Services Coordinator would love to get to know you to find the perfect volunteer role and job that fits your individual needs.
