"Service is the rent each of us pays for living - the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time or after you have reached your personal goals."  Marian Wright Edelman

Each year hundreds of volunteers contribute their time, talents and energy by assisting library staff and extending community outreach for the library. The process is simple! Complete a volunteer application form, and our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to schedule an interview. We'll match your schedule and interests to our needs, and provide training prior to your volunteer assignment.

Whether you can help weekly, monthly, or just several times a year, opportunities are available to suit your schedule. Please contact the Coordinator of Volunteers at (412) 366-8100 x104 or mccarthyp@einetwork.net for more information.

The Northland Public Library Foundation is a separate, nonprofit organization that provides ongoing funding support to assist the growing needs of the library. Founded in 1985, it manages several fund-raising efforts including various book-giving programs and an annual direct-mail campaign and provides for planned-giving opportunities. The Foundation manages your donations through book giving programs, annual fund, United Way, and capital campaigns. We are also building a legacy of support for the Library by investing the gifts we receive from bequests, gifts of appreciated stock, and more. Visit the Foundation's website.

The Foundation Board meets at 7:30pm at the library on the second Wednesday of every month, beginning in February of each year.
