Thanks to Our Volunteers

Each spring, during National Volunteer Week, we say special thanks to the people who give their time to help ensure that our community enjoys great library service. These 209 individuals and 36 groups generously helped the library from March 2024 through February 2025. Their contributions total 8762 hours!

We also thank our Library, Foundation, and Friends Board members, and the dozens of helpers who work  in our FriendShop Bookstore.
