The Library loves volunteers!

Research has shown that volunteering is associated with improved health and well-being, including increased longevity, adoption of healthy lifestyles and reduction in depression and stress.

 

The service volunteers provide also goes on to benefit the communities in which they live and serve.

​

Flexible commitment! 

 

Volunteers can arrange library tasks at a mutually agreed upon time during normal hours.  The suggested time period is just an estimate to let you know how long something might take.  The times listed are not a required time commitment.
