Would You Like to be a Friends' of the Corona Public Library Volunteer?

The Friends of the Corona Public Library is composed entirely of volunteers from the community. If you would like to become a volunteer for the Friends, you must first apply on the City of Corona website then attend a general volunteer orientation meeting for the Corona Public Library. These meetings are scheduled through the Library’s administration office.

There are a variety of volunteer positions for the Friends of the Library. You may want to work at the desk in the BookShop selling books, or behind the scenes sorting, pricing, or stocking the shelves. The Board of Directors for the Friends is also composed of volunteers, and there are several important committees that would welcome the talents of volunteers as well. After general orientation and acceptance by the City of Corona, your area of interest will be addressed by the BookShop Operations Committee which will then provide specific orientation.

You are welcome to attend Board meetings. If you are interested in joining a committee, please email our President, Gretchen Doughty.

Long-term Volunteer Opportunities

To join long-term volunteer opportunities for the Community Services Department, you must first attend an orientation. Orientations are typically held on the third Monday of the month at 6:30 pm in the Corona Public Library’s Frances Aldama Martinez Community Rooms.

Please note: All prospective volunteers must pass a background check, including those under 18. This process can take 4-6 weeks. Please plan ahead. The City of Corona cannot accept court-referred or school-mandated volunteers who need to complete their hours to meet disciplinary requirements.
