occasional basis, the Library will work with you. Weekly Volunteers are
requested to work a minimum of 2 hours per week. Special Project Volunteers
will be called on an “as needed” basis. Short term volunteer opportunities
are available for individuals who are seeking to fulfill volunteer
requirements for school or other organizations.
