Our Volunteer Program Mission

The purpose of the Volunteer Program is to provide an opportunity to extend library services by involving citizens who have an active interest in helping the library. The program is a resource that provides valuable services to meet the needs of our patrons and other visitors while allowing individuals an opportunity to contribute to their community in a manner that proves meaningful to them and beneficial for the library.
