Volunteer

Friends of Strathcona County Library Society provides volunteer opportunities year-round. Engage in Friends activities and support Library events such as quarterly book sales and the Fall Feast of Words. Whether you can contribute a little or a lot, there’s flexibility without a long-term commitment. Volunteering with Friends offers a chance to connect with fellow book lovers and make a meaningful impact on library services and events. 

Additionally, we are always seeking dedicated individuals to join our board, offering a chance to volunteer with a greater commitment and influence the direction of our organization.
