Thanks to Our Volunteers

Each spring, during National Volunteer Week, we say a special thanks to the people who give their time to help ensure that our community enjoys great library service. These 181 individuals and 25 groups generously helped the library from March 2023 through February 2024. Their contributions total 7,065 hours!

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