Volunteer

Volunteers who devote their time, talents, and enthusiasm to the library touch many lives and make a difference to our community.

Services may be staffed by volunteers only when such an arrangement would enhance the quality of public service and would be the most cost-effective. Any assessment of cost-effectiveness must consider that volunteer programs have a higher supervisory

component and more extensive back-up provisions.

Tasks that may be performed by volunteers

• Shelf-readers and Shelf-straighteners help ensure that patrons and staff can find library materials where they're supposed to be.
• Special projects
• Care of library plants
• Program assistance
• Book sale volunteers
