The Cedar Rapids Public Library is honored to work with many dedicated library supporters and volunteers. Their gifts make it possible for us to meet the many needs of our community. 

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the library. At this time, we do not have any volunteer roles for which we are recruiting. Therefore, we are not currently accepting volunteer applications. 

If you would like to apply to be a volunteer at the library in the future, please complete the form below. We will reach out to individuals when the application process reopens.
