Looking for service hours? Want to help out the library? We’re looking for volunteers at the Maud Marks Branch Library. You can pick up an application at the Information Desk; be sure to include your requested schedule and if you’re under 18 your parent or guardian needs to sign too.

Please note that all teen volunteers must attend an orientation session before starting. If you’re interested you’re in luck - our October volunteer orientation session is next Tuesday, October 6 at 7pm. See you there!
