| Take Time to Volunteer -
One of the Greatest Gifts of All As a volunteer, you can make a difference in your own life, in the lives of others, and in the Library's future. Our volunteers are a diverse group. What they all have in common is that each has a talent or skill needed by the library. To become a volunteer, Please read the New Volunteer Policy, complete the Adult Application or the Youth Application and return it to the Library. The more specific you are, the better we are able to determine whether there is a volunteer job suited to you. Sometimes we're unable to match your abilities with the Library's needs; however, applications are kept on file for possible use in the future. All applicants will be contacted by the Volunteer Coordinator. Return
