Adult Volunteers
Occasionally the library needs volunteers for specific tasks and activities. We welcome volunteer applications all year long and will contact you when we can match you with a project that matches your skill set. Some examples of work by our current volunteers include delivering materials to home bound patrons, assisting with program set up, indexing local newspapers and scanning documents for archives.
Teen Volunteers
We have a variety of opportunities for teens to volunteer at the Library. During the school year, you can participate in the Teen Advisory Group, Book Mates, and our Netguide program. Visit the Teen Get Involved page to learn about opportunities available.
