Your Safety Is Our Priority
Book Sales & book donations are back up and running! According to CDC guidelines, we ask that all unvaccinated patrons wear a mask while browsing our collection.
Volunteer
We need volunteers to work two hour shifts on Saturdays at the Main Book Sale from 10-12 or 12-2.
This is a fun, people oriented time. We work in shifts of two volunteers - one to ring up and one to bag purchases. You answer questions and direct customers to the shelves. Volunteers earn a free book for every hour worked!
As well, throughout the month volunteers come in to sort and shelve donations. This is an opportunity to work either on your own or with whomever shows up to help.
Main Book Sales are at the Main Library, 601 Court Street, side entrance.
Little Free Libraries

Local Author Talks
The Friends are happy to sponsor local authors who wish to use the library meeting rooms as a venue for sharing their work with the community.
