Volunteer - Manheim Township Public Library

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at MTPL!

Volunteers are vital in supporting the library, assisting with tasks like shelving and book repair, as well as raising funds through used book sales. You can be an integral part of the library and its ability to serve the community by volunteering today.

Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, and those under 18 years must obtain parent/guardian consent. We are unable to accommodate court-ordered community service hours.

All volunteers (including minors) must comply with the requirements for clearances in accordance with Pennsylvania law and policies established by Manheim Township Public Library. Clearances must be submitted prior to the start of volunteer service, and must be kept up to date to continue volunteering. The required clearances are a Pennsylvania Criminal Background Check, Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance, and either an FBI Fingerprint Based Federal Criminal History or Disclosure Statement Application for Volunteers.

Follow these links to apply for the appropriate clearances:

Pennsylvania Criminal Background Check
Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance
Either FBI fingerprint based federal criminal history OR the Disclosure Statement Application for Volunteers.
- FBI certification submitted through the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services is required if volunteers have not been a resident of Pennsylvania for the past 10 years, or if they obtained their FBI certification at any time since establishing residency. Schedule your appointment here: www.identogo.com/locations/pennsylvania. Please note that there is a fee for this clearance, to be paid by the volunteer. When scheduling your fingerprint appointment, use service code: 1KG738
- If a volunteer has resided consistently in Pennsylvania for 10 years, to be exempt from FBI certification, the volunteer must swear/affirm in writing the statements in the Disclosure Statement Application for Volunteers.
