Volunteering at HPL

We love volunteers!
Help us keep the shelves in order, make kits, put on programs, and keep the Children’s Room tidy. Fill out your info in this form and we’ll get back to you:

Volunteer Signup Form

Smith Academy high school students can volunteer at the public library and earn hours for graduation and/or National Honor’s Society! Stop by the library or email kids.hatfieldlibrary@gmail.com for more info.

► Note for Smith Academy students looking for National Honor Society hours

Historically summer volunteer hours have not counted toward National Honor Society requirements. Students interested in applying for the NHS at SA should contact Shannon Szymczyk (sszymczyk@hatfieldps.net) about current requirements.

Space to hangout

You are welcome in the library whenever we are open. Downstairs is a great place to do homework, play a boardgame, or just hangout. You can also use the computers upstairs, or ask at the front desk to borrow a Chromebook to use elsewhere in the Library.
