Volunteer Services

The library is always looking for volunteers to help out. Our volunteers help out in more ways than we can count. They help fill in the gaps and provide the best service for you.

Volunteer Activities

Volunteers are active in recording, braille, and administrative support. The recording studios are located in Raleigh. Volunteers in the Raleigh area participate in the recording program where they receive special voice and technical training to record North Carolina literature and magazines onto tape. Many volunteers assist the library by typing, compiling a volunteer newsletter, preparing the library's newsletter for mailing, and more. The library is always looking for volunteers to help out on a number projects. For information on volunteering or volunteer services at the library contact the library.

Volunteer Services produces a very informative volunteer newsletter called Volunteller. It provides news and insights for volunteers and about volunteering at the library. Read Volunteller for all of the latest happenings in the world of volunteering.
