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.

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.
