Interested in getting involved at HTFL?
Volunteers help support the library.
Volunteers are essential to fulfilling the library's mission "to provide you with resources, programs, and services that enhance and enrich your life." Our volunteers span the ages of teens on up and they work side-by-side with the staff in many different capacities. Our volunteers are a valued and respected for their time, talents, dedication, and commitment to the library and the community.
Adult Volunteering
We are not accepting Adult Volunteers for 2024 due to the reduced size of our temporary location in the Manoa Shopping Center while the location at Darby Road is under renovation.
