Adopt a Shelf is a volunteer opportunity designed to ensure library materials are in order. With thousands of books in our collection, it is important we have items in the correct spot for patrons to find materials.
As a volunteer, you can “adopt” a specific section of the library, helping to keep it organized and tidy. We try to match volunteers with their favorite area! Volunteers commit to checking and organizing their section 1-2 times a month, with flexible scheduling set by the volunteer(s). Families, individuals and organizations are welcome to adopt a shelf. Volunteers will have their organization, family name or individual name noted by the shelf they have adopted.
