- a person that can use excel and mail merge
 - volunteers to donate a couple of hours a week to work on the front desk. Training is available!!! .
If you could volunteer to do any of these, please contact Phyllis, at the front desk, for more details.
Volunteers make it possible for us to have a free library!
The Russell Collection also needs volunteers:

or drop them off at the desk.
By the way, if the library doesn't yet own the book, perhaps you'd like to purchase a copy -- at the library's 20-45% discount -- and gift it to the collection. Talk to Phyllis.

The meeting room needs new, more comfortable chairs. If you could contribute a chair, please contact Phyllis at the Library for details on the chair.
