Volunteers
We are indebted to our volunteer help, who tirelessly shelve books,
check in and check out materials for students and staff, maintain
our shelves, work on projects, help at our book fairs, and provide
help to our young readers. Last year more than 75,000 items circulated
in and out of the library and we are grateful for your help.
Library Showcase
You may sign up to display your collection in
our library showcase, as long as no one has shown the same collection
this year.
