THANKS TO OUR WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS!
Many talented and dedicated volunteers make possible services and projects that could not be accomplished without their help. Storytelling, delivering books, mending books, helping with children's programs, assisting with a variety of jobs in the children's department, and managing the local history archive are primary among the numerous jobs volunteers perform for the Library.   Every year six to seven hundred hours of volunteer assistance allow us to provide services we could not offer without them.
