Become a volunteer

Volunteers are absolutely necessary to carry out the work of The Friends.  We have no paid staff, so we rely exclusively on our members to perform the services necessary for our success in supporting the Library.

Volunteer opportunities vary according to how much time the volunteer can give and range from a few hours per year to several hours per week. Contact us at 970-962-2712 or by e-mail by going to our Contact Page.
