Become a Volunteer

 

Volunteer assistance is always greatly appreciated by library staff. By donating a couple of hours of your spare time on a weekly or monthly basis to help with ongoing tasks, you can contribute to the library in valuable ways.

 

Where do we need help?

 

• Shelving - shelving library materials is a great way to get to know the collection and the library staff.

• Administrative Help - special projects helping the library director are periodically available.

• The Local History & Genealogy Room - If you have an interest in Geneaology or History why not consider volunteering in our Local History Room.  Days, times and projects are varied and flexible. 

• Fundraising Committee - The fundraising committee, which meets monthly, plans fundraising events to raise money for our library programs.  Serving on this committee requires commitment and time, but is also greatly rewarding....and fun!

• Program Committee  - Are you an idea person?  Join the Program Committee and help brainstorm new ideas for library programming.

• Share Your Knowledge  - Have a special skill or passion that you can share?  Volunteer to teach a workshop or a class for your community.  Contact the Library Director here to talk about your ideas.

• Volunteer at the Historic Dr. Best House & Medical Exhibit - find out more information about volunteering at the Dr. Best House here.
