Volunteer Appreciation

The Friends of the Library could not achieve any of its goals without its priceless workforce of dedicated volunteers, some of whom are also Board Members. They:

  • Sort donations and stock the book store
  • Take out of storage and replace the stock for the outdoor book sales
  • Staff the book store
  • Respond to your email and phone inquiries
  • Maintain email and postal mailing lists
  • Produce the newsletter
  • Manage the finances from everyday check writing to submitting the Friends' annual tax returns 


Every year, the Board hosts a celebration to honor the volunteers. In 2019 the party included hot and cold hors d'oeuvres, salads, and desserts. Yum!


 We are a community of volunteers and can always use help. Is your spare time looking for something to do? Check out these opportunities below. Training is provided.

Book Store Cashier: Work a 3-hour shift on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday. Cash box, not cash register.
Book Sorter: Work a 2-hour shift sorting, pricing, and putting books into storage. Lifting and physical work are involved. You must be able to lift 25 pounds.
Book Sale Cashier: Work a 2-hour shift every other month. Cash box, not cash register.
Book Sale Setup/Tear-down Worker:

We are thankful for any and all help, so if your schedule does not permit you to participate on a weekly or monthly basis, we still welcome you to volunteer when you can.
