Getting Involved at Cambria County Library
The Cambria County Library values the gift of your time and welcomes volunteers to help with library operations, including shelving books, cleaning, and other tasks. Volunteer assignments may vary based on the department.
All volunteers will be required to complete PATCH and Child Abuse History Clearance background checks. These clearances are free to volunteers and can be completed on the PATCH Website and the PA Child Welfare Website. Volunteers may not need to obtain federal background checks that require fingerprinting.
If you are interested in volunteering at the library, fill out the form on this page! You can also contact our Head of Reference at (814) 536-5131, ext 212
Donations and Memorials

Adopt a Book
Book Adoptions are a unique and lasting gift to honor the life of a loved one, commemorate an important day or recognize a special person. You can Adopt a Book (or audiobook, DVD movie or music CD) for our collection by completing the Adopt a Book form.
