Support the library

  • With the help of our volunteers, we know that we can “inspire possibility” through the high-quality services, resources, events, classes and support we provide our community. The level of service we aim for would not be possible without the contribution of time and talent from our volunteers.
  • Volunteers assist staff members, advocate for the library, contribute to the success of library events and classes and bring new talents to the organization.
  • Volunteers also contribute greatly to the positive image the community holds of the library.
