Volunteers are vital to the library. On a daily basis, volunteers act as docents to assist patrons in the Humboldt Room, shelve books, assist with children's programs, prepare materials for book sales, staff the Serendipity Bookstore and help with a variety of special projects. The library enjoys the help of over 170 volunteers system-wide.
