In our travels to assist our patrons who are in need or who cannot come to the Library, we often meet other volunteers who are also helping our neighbors to stay in their homes for as long as possible or connect with resources for food, shelter, and other services.

Some comments from residents over the many years 
we have happily offered our Outreach Services:

"I count my blessings not as often as I should but when I do, I count you ladies more than once."

“In the words of Robert Browning – How do I love thee – I love you for making one day in the month so enjoyable for me and something to focus on till the next time around.”

"It means so much that you do not just deliver and collect the books and leave.  I enjoy our conversations and laughter so much.”
