There are new chances for working at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The museum is looking for volunteers and will be holding a orientation session on Wednesday, September 8th. The event will talk about how to join the team. A volunteer greets visitors, assists at events, helps researchers, and more. 

The session begins at 5:30 PM in the presidential library's multipurpose room located at 112 North 6th Street in Springfield.  Anybody volunteering will be asked to attend three additional training sessions on Wednesday, September 22nd; Wednesday, September 29th; and Tuesday October 5th. Each session begins at 5:30. 

Volunteers contribute on average 40,000 hours of service each year and makes the experience better for all of the many visitors of the museum. To register you can contact Jeremy Carrell, director of volunteer services at 558-8872 by Tuesday, September 7th.
