Individual volunteers donated more than 880 hours of work for the Mathews Memorial Library in fiscal year 2019.
You too can join our group of dedicated volunteers! You can make a big difference in the quality of library service in Mathews by sharing your time and talent.
Library volunteers work side by side with the staff in many library activities.

Volunteers are needed to assist with both adult and youth services.

- help our patrons, and be appreciated for it
What is expected of you?

Our volunteers have a wide range of backgrounds, interests and talents. Some do short-term projects, and some stay for years! We welcome your gift of time, whatever it may be.
