VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
This is our busiest season, and we can really use additional volunteers to help shelve books and other materials, make calls, and register new patrons. We’re also looking for volunteers to serve as Computer Tutors, and run discussion groups. We’ll be forming another Writer’s Groups if we can find a volunteer to lead it. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact our Assistant Director, Suzanne Martell.
*****************************
All programs Free and Open to the Public.
Extra parking is available across the street at Brooks Park and behind Town Hall.
