UPDATE: It looks like we have all the volunteers we need for this project. If I have contacted you about a day and time to come in, you are our crew. Thank you to everyone who wanted to help out!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: if you have asked about volunteering at the library, this is your chance! We are looking for a few people to put together treat boxes for a special program next week. We will need volunteers Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday to spend a little time putting these boxes together and adding a sweet treat. Call and ask for JeNel if you want to help!

We love the support we get from our community and thought that over the next few days, we'd share some of the BEST ways to support YOUR public library. 1. Get a Library Card! A library card is a great, free way to access all the library's resources, from books to digital services.
