Will a library hire a 14 year old to shelve books?

Question

I just turned 14 and I have way too much free time on my hands afterschool. I'm a major book nerd, so my mom said I should as about getting a job at a library so i could put money back for college. Do you think Irving Public Library would hire a 14 year old?

Answer 1

Most people that work at libraries are volunteer. You can always call them and ask but don't hold your breath.

Answer 2

Yes, actually in a library near us, there's lots of 14's year old that are hired mostly as volunteers for shelving books.

Answer 3

If they cant legally hire you for your age then ask about "volunteer" work there. They would probably do that.

Answer 4

all libraries are different but most dont really care about age since it is just at a library. i would go in and ask if they are hiring and explain that u are a book nerd and love books... this will make them more apt to hire u. best of luck!
