Support the Library

Whether it's making a monetary donation or giving us your gift of time, there are many ways you can support your Library.

Helping with special projects

Shelving books

Helping prepare book displays

Volunteer Benefits

Volunteers do not pay overdue fines and receive discounts on book orders. An annual volunteer meeting is scheduled in the fall, and volunteers are honored each year for their service at the Annual Luncheon.

Book Sale Area

For a $1 donation per item, you can purchase gently used books, DVDs and CDs for kids, teens and adults in the Library's Book Sale Area located in the lobby. New items are added weekly, so check frequently. From bestsellers to textbooks, you won't be disappointed in our selection. (Please note -- the Libray no longer accepts donations of used books.)
