What do volunteers do?
Library volunteers do all kinds of things! Help is needed with a variety of tasks, some simple and some more specialized. Volunteers may come in weekly, monthly, or just assist with certain programs or events. Volunteers also help with our community outreach programs at the Orion Center, local nursing homes, and with our homebound patrons.
