Computer literacy is almost as important as knowing how to read.

If you would like to help teach members of our community basic computer skills such as how to create and use an email account, navigate the Web, or use a word processing program, the library needs you!

Library volunteers are needed to help shelve library materials, search for requested items and assist in maintaining an attractive and pleasant atmosphere in our branches.

Volunteers can also help at our Library Administration Center, Monday to Friday, helping to get materials ready to checkout in our branches.

The Friends are an organized network of library supporters who have been pivotal in the development of library services throughout the region, and will continue to be.
