Sonoma County Library is proud to host over 2,000 teens as volunteers every year at our 12 regional libraries. Opportunities vary at different locations and are generally 1-2 hours per week. To find teen volunteering opportunities, visit the Locations page.

Teen Advisory Group

Rohnert Park Cotati Library's Teen Advisory Group (TAG) is a volunteer-driven leadership group for students in grades 7-12 who are passionate about making a difference at the library and in their community. As a TAG member, you’ll work closely with the Teen Librarian to help shape teen services, whether it's brainstorming and leading exciting programs, curating book displays and recommendations, managing social media content, or bringing fresh ideas to the table. It's a great way to build leadership skills, earn volunteer hours, and make your voice heard! Interested? Please email Teen Librarian Allison.

Library Advisory Boards

Are you interested in being a connection between the library and the community? Apply to be on your local Library Advisory Board. With a minimal time commitment, you can make an impact!
