Volunteers help with library outreach by delivering books for homebound service, maintaining deposit collections at motels, etc., writing articles for newspapers, and visiting community groups, schools and agencies. 

Volunteers make the library look better by decorating, making displays, gardening, painting and cleaning.  Volunteers help with manual labor by dusting, shelving, shifting, reading shelves and rearranging the furniture.

Volunteers work with library materials being acquired by sorting donations, assessing value and preparing them for book sales. 

Volunteers help get materials ready to be used in the library by processing and cataloging books. 

Volunteers may help with circulation desk duties. 

Volunteers stamp discarded books and remove these items from the computer. 

Volunteers create new book annotations for Monthly New Books List. 

Volunteers provide programs such as story times, adult craft classes, children's craft classes, etc.

Volunteers are vital to the libraries' operations. 

The libraries may use a volunteer form to determine the fit of volunteer to volunteer service.  The form is also available online at "About Us"/"Contact Us".
