Volunteers are important at the Library! Volunteers include people of a wide range of ages, from teens to parents, to young professionals and seniors.
Do you need to log some community service hours for school, church or synagogue, Scouts or another club, or resume for college? Do you find yourself with a few extra hours and want to give back to the community? Get on the list to help out with materials management, special events, and whatever else comes up.
Volunteers are also needed for the Library’s Homebound Delivery Service to make deliveries and pickups of library materials directly to those unable to come to the Library on their own due to health or mobility problems. Drivers are needed to make deliveries and pickups on an as needed basis.
Many volunteers are needed for the Library Fair in the summer and fall months. Scheduling varies and individual, longer-term special projects also may be arranged.
