  • Call for Volunteers! 🏳️‍⚧️

    Volunteer Application Form Here!

    Hey all! We are so excited to announce that we are looking for volunteers! We are specifically looking for people who are interested in graphic design, helping out with our social media accounts/general communications, planning events, hosting events, and catalog acquisitions; but we’re open to a wide range of volunteers for all sorts of things. No experience needed + we have a lot tasks that can be done remotely so you don’t even need to be local to Ottawa. If you’re over 18 and volunteering at the library is something you’d like to do, we want to hear from you! 

    Follow the link to the volunteer application and tell us about yourself! 💕🏳️‍⚧️
