Briefly describe the program, volunteer work, or partnerships you or your organization may offer.
The library works with many different organizations in the community to provide programming and awareness to the members of the community. We also have volunteer opportunities for teens 14 years and older. Our volunteers do an assortment of valued tasks such as shelving books, checking books in, straightening, and much much more. We provide outreach to schools and senior citizen centers in the community. We are always looking for additional ways in which we can parter with community organizations and provide more services to our community.
