Volunteer Opportunities

The library can always use extra hands. Some Friends duties include: Helping to create art work for programs, delivering books to shut-ins or people who can’t make it in to the library, covering books, sorting and straightening books, providing treats  or helping for special programs.

Donations

Donations are welcome at any time of the year. They can be dropped off at the Library or given to any board member. Donations of books are to go to the library. Special arrangements can be made to pick up books at your home. We are 501(c)3, so we are eligible for matching grants. We also have an account at the Community Foundation that will accept donations for us. You can give anonymously at Community Foundation.
