Volunteers

Volunteers are invaluable to the smooth functioning of the library, giving an average of 2000 hours per year. The library currently has ten active volunteers who typically work a 3-4 hour shift each week. Tasks include shelving, data entry, special projects, helping patrons, and other duties.
We have a current need for volunteers with web, php or javascript programming and database experience.
Call 206-543-0415 for an application.
