The library offers plenty of volunteer opportunities for students in grades 7-12. All prospective volunteers must attend an orientation meeting, held 1-2 times a month. Register on our calendar or contact teen@cshlibrary.org for more info.
At this time, the CSH library is not accepting adult volunteers.

Special Volunteer Opportunities
Citizen Science with iNaturalist (1 hour per 10 observations)
- Use the iNaturalist app to log photos of wildlife and plants in your area. Select a suggested ID for
the organism and let the community peer review it as a contribution to science! Email a photo
of your log to teen@cshlibrary.org for credit. Every 10 observations (including an ID attempt)
counts for 1 hour of service.
Survey 2024-25 (can be completed once per July-June year)
Beach Cleanups
- Twice a year we have organized beach cleanups in collaboration with the North Shore Land Alliance. These are off-site events requiring permission slips.
