We are calling for volunteer docents and general volunteers for Americans and the Holocaust.
Americans and the Holocaust is a traveling exhibition from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum that will be on display at USCL from Aug. 19-Sept. 30, 2026.
Docents will assist USCL staff in conducting tours for both adults and students from middle and high schools, as well as answering questions about the exhibit. Training will be provided. Those interested in leading tours for minors may be subject to a background check.
General volunteers will assist USCL staff in welcoming and directing visitors to the exhibition and helping to monitor the exhibition rooms.
Both types of volunteers are needed Monday through Saturday for the duration of the exhibition.
Anyone interested in volunteering for either position can apply online or obtain an application at the library’s front desk.

Americans and the Holocaust: A Traveling Exhibition for Libraries is an educational initiative of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association. The traveling exhibition began by touring to 50 U.S. libraries from 2021 to 2023; due to widespread interest from libraries and communities around the country, a second tour was developed for 2024 to 2026.
Americans and the Holocaust was made possible by the generous support of lead sponsor Jeannie & Jonathan Lavine. Additional major funding was provided by the Bildners — Joan & Allen z”l, Elisa Spungen & Rob, Nancy & Jim; and Jane and Daniel Och. The Museum's exhibitions are also supported by the Lester Robbins and Sheila Johnson Robbins Traveling and Special Exhibitions Fund, established in 1990.
