We are currently without a physical location due to financial issues resulting from the pandemic. Our collections are temporarily in storage.
Normally, regular tasks include helping to process donated collection materials; unpacking, stamping, cataloging, shelving, etc., as well as maintaining and organizing our existing shelves of circulating and non-circulating materials.
In the meantime, several projects need help in the near future, including working with our thousands of periodicals and paper files, as well as upcoming outreach projects ranging from greeting attendees at future lectures and open house events, to help with Social Media, "Little Free Library" seeding, and much more!
We look forward to speaking with you and working with you to help make our organization the best it can be.
Thanks for your interest and support!
