Why volunteer?

Volunteers are a very important part of the Library! Our volunteers are beginner or skilled individuals who perform a variety of tasks that support library staff in providing excellent library services. Volunteers meet new people, learn new skills or use ones they already have, gain hours for college scholarships, and give back to the community.

What do volunteers do?

 Volunteers may assist in the following areas:

  • Shelving library materials
  • Book repair
  • Local history and genealogy aid
  • Programs, special events, and outreach
  • Special projects
  • Office help and data entry
  • Computer help
  • Teen advisory board
  • Friends of the Library bookstore (Friends' members only)
