We had a great 2011 in volunteering! Over the year, volunteers gave us 2,717 hours of help! That made all kinds of things possible at the library -- from programs for kids and adults to inventory to making sure all the books get back on the shelves!
We're still accepting applications now if you're considering joining us!
We also have some upcoming programs we could use some extra hands for, if you're available. If you're interested, please email me at allison [at] wblibrary[dot]org!

Hello! and -- Fall Volunteer Appreciation Party
Hi, I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself -- I'm Allison, and I'm the new Volunteer Coordinator here at Wells Branch Community Library! I've been working here since November 2010 as the Adult Program Librarian, and now I've added volunteer duties to my job. I'm very excited to get involved -- we have such a wonderful group of committed volunteers here at the library!
If we haven't already met, please introduce yourself next time you're in!
A great time to meet would be our Fall Volunteer Appreciation Party! It will be Saturday, November 12, at 2pm, here at the library. We hope to see you there!
