We Can't Do It Without Volunteers
Volunteers are essential to the productivity, efficiency and cost effectiveness of library services. Their contribution to the library system goes far beyond the actual work performed.
Volunteers enhance the services the library system provides to the public. By working together, volunteers and library staff accomplish great things.
There are many types of jobs volunteers do in our libraries like:
- Helping the public use library computers, online catalog and check-out machines
- Inspecting and sorting materials
- Supporting English language learning
- Assisting in other library activities and functions
