Your library needs you — your time and financial support are more important than ever before if we are to maintain West Linn Public Library as a thriving place where our community's needs for education and entertainment are served.

Volunteer
Volunteers are vital to the library's success. Many of the hundreds of items we check in and shelve each day are handled by volunteers. We're looking for people age 14 and over who can make a regular commitment to shelve library materials, keep shelves organized, and participate in occasional special projects. You may click on the link below to access an application to become a library volunteer. For further information, please call Beth Meinerth at the library at (503) 656-7853, extension 3020.
