Offer your time and talents

Volunteering is a satisfying way to contribute your time and skills to the library. We use a small group of volunteers to:

• Shelve books
• Cover books
• Keep our collection in good order
• Index obituaries
• Help with special projects

If you are interested in volunteering, please print our Volunteer Application, fill it in and return it to the main desk at the library. You may indicate your availability and areas of interest and our volunteer coordinator will contact you when an opening occurs.
