To make new friends. Volunteering can help you mix with new people who are into the same things, forming new friends on the way.

To make a difference. Be a part of making changes for the better in our community.

To gain new skills. Something you've always wanted to do? Then go for it and gain valuable skills along the way.

Volunteer at the Library

Libraries in Harford County have a rich history of volunteer support that dates back before the 1946 tax-supported Public Library Law. Even though the way libraries provide service has changed dramatically over the years, the need for volunteer support has not. Library volunteers are involved in almost every aspect of library service. Volunteers who donate their time and talents provide the support necessary to maintain and extend quality library service.

Computer Volunteers Wanted

The library is looking for volunteers to assist customers using computers in the branches. Volunteers should have a good understanding of MS Word, be comfortable with using the Internet, enjoy working with others, and be willing to work a minimum of 1.5 hours per week. For more information call Michèle Louderback, Volunteer Specialist, at (410) 273-5601, ext. 247.
