GET YOUR FEET WET AT THE LOUDEST LIBRARY IN TOWN!

BEGINNER VOLUNTEERS come in once or twice a month to:

help our world-renowned tool librarians
clean, beautify, organize!
perform tool repair and upkeep
do endless and varied special projects
preach about us at markets and special events

BEGINNER VOLUNTEERS receive:

invites to special events and meet-ups
being a part of a cool group of humans
the feeling of satisfaction and blissful night’s sleep you get from contributing to a worthy cause

NOTE: No specific tool knowledge/experience is required to volunteer - just kindness, reliability, and respect for the DTL ethos and community.

Step 2: Core Volunteer

GET MORE INVOLVED, DRINK THE KOOL-AID.

CORE VOLUNTEERS have volunteered regularly at the DTL for a good period of time, have undergone further training on librarian operations, and can be depended on to show up for specifically scheduled monthly or bi-monthly shifts.

CORE VOLUNTEERS receive the same benefits as Regular Volunteers, PLUS:

DTL merch will be forced upon you!!
