“The library is staffed by volunteers, no paid positions and over 7,000 hours of volunteer service each year. 84 volunteers staff the front desk area for check-in and check-out of library materials, shelving library books and materials, working with patrons helping with computer needs, catalog searches, copies, printing from the internet, answering questions about Microsoft Word if patrons are trying to build a resume, community event information for local residents and vacationers. There is also a very active Children's area with several volunteer children's librarians who offer weekly and monthly programs for children and summer reading programs. The children's program has grown exponentially over the last year with some of our programs with 75-100 children participating in a single event. All maintenance is performed with an active maintenance team of volunteers as well. This is a large task with the size of the building but is handled professionally and timely with the excellent volunteers handling the jobs or directing subcontracted work. The library community room is also used as a polling location and for VITA tax services. Services are provided for over 400 tax returns over 12 weeks/once per week. Wonderbooks are still being used in the children's area helping children learn to speak, identify words, animal sounds and objects. These are provided through a yearly grant and the program administered by the children's librarian.”
