Volunteer Opportunities

OLA’s events and services are supported by dozens of volunteers in Ontario. Member involvement is vital to the success of the association.

OLA volunteers have the unique opportunity to engage with other members from around the province while impacting trends, issues and services available for library professionals. Volunteering with OLA is an investment in your career, which provides you with unique learning and leadership opportunities.

Volunteer opportunities can include being a member of an OLA committee, board or council; assisting with planning an OLA event, supporting library advocacy issues, assisting with OLA Publications, or helping with OLA events on-site. The possibilities are endless and ever-changing. Contact membership@accessola.com for more information.

We have several Volunteer Opportunities to choose from:
Events | Forest of Reading | OLA Board and General Committees | OLA Publications Committees | Super Conference
