| 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 Volunteer Policy, then complete the Adult Application or the Youth Application and return it to the Library at which you would like to volunteer. 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. For additional information: S.T.A.R.S. Program – Skills Training And Reading Success
