Meetings and Events

NOTICE: We need Teen Volunteer Pages. This position will be responsible for data entry of donated items, new acquisitions and cataloging the existing collection being kept. This is important work that needs to be accomplished in order for the library to be fully cataloged on-line and to become part of the state inter-library loan system.

Required: two hours per week for 15 weeks; these do not need to be consecutive weeks - the library will provide a letter of reference and commendation for your service and a gift certificate to the Claremont Movie Theater. Please contact Mrs. Phillips at 863-6921.
