Just a few hours a week at the library can help enrich your neighbors and your community.

All Oceanside Public Library volunteers must complete a fingerprint and background check process before beginning to volunteer.  The Library cannot accommodate court-ordered community service assignments per City policy.

Adult Volunteers make a difference!  

All adult volunteer positions require a minimum 6-month commitment, most require availability during the weekdays.  Training will be provided. 

The first step to volunteering is to fill out an online application on GovernmentJobs.com.

Not all volunteer opportunities necessarily have openings at any given time.
