Newport Library is a volunteer run library in the small river City of Newport, MN. This quaint community just southeast of St. Paul is one of the oldest communities in the Twin Cities Metro. The city boasts a 132-year-old Library. We invite you to become a part of this beautiful legacy of literacy and community support by becoming a Volunteer in our beautiful little library.
Library Volunteers assist patrons with item check-out, computer use, scanning, printing, laminating, and most importantly being a resource. Volunteers are the heart of this lovely space. No prior library experience is necessary. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and willing to work alone. The primary job of the Volunteer is to be a friendly face. Because we work with children and vulnerable adults, Volunteers must pass a background check including fingerprinting. The reward of serving this beautiful community is worth the process.
This particular shift is an important time, as many of our school age patrons visit the library during this shift. The perfect candidate likes working with children and is willing to tutor them in elementary reading.
