VOLUNTEER IN THE LIBRARY!

Library Volunteers will help children check-out books as well as check-in and re-shelve books that have been returned, and will also help with teacher workroom projects. All shifts are 45 minutes long, with 30 minutes dedicated to class library time and 15 minutes dedicated to help in the workroom (if needed). You can sign up for any open spots, even if your child isn't attending library that day... we love help from our volunteers!
