Ames Public Library values the incredible work our volunteers do for us. Annually, over 500 volunteers donate almost 17,000 hours of service to the Library. That level of support is vital to our success and our ability to meet our community’s needs.
Thanks for your interest in volunteering with Ames Public Library!
We are currently recruiting volunteers for:
- Spring Booksale! Set up will be Wednesday, April 8th. The sale runs Thursday, April 9-12th. Our volunteer sign up will go out in March.

The Barton System is a systematic and explicit way to teach reading and spelling designed specifically for kids with dyslexia. All training is provided. Volunteers commit to tutoring for at least a year, meeting two times a week for 1 hour sessions.
Coming Soon: APL-Youth Summer Volunteers. Applications will go out in late April. Please check back here to apply.
