Volunteering

Each year, more than 300 dedicated community members give over 14,000 hours to the library. They generously contribute their time, skills, and talents to help the library provide materials and services to the City of Corvallis and Benton County.

At the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library, we strive to provide a meaningful and enjoyable volunteer experience for those who wish to share their time and skills with us. Thank you for your interest in supporting the Library!
