Events › Branch Buddy Volunteering for Families

Every now and then, libraries need a little extra love from the communities they serve. You can volunteer away your library fines at a rate of $20 per hour while helping the library maintain a clean and welcoming environment.

Volunteers will be responsible for:

• Book cover cleaning – Use disinfecting wipes to reinvigorate dingy books.
• Bookshelves – Dust shelves and organize library materials.
• Deep cleaning computers – Use disinfecting wipes to disinfect computer mice and mouse pads and compressed air to remove any dust particles or debris.
• Material inspection – Check books for torn pages, pen marks, etc.

This is a perfect opportunity for families interested in volunteering away their library fines.
