Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Lopez Island Library!
Volunteers Are Important
Volunteers play a valuable role in keeping the library running. The generous contribution of your talents and resources benefits the community members who use and depend on the library. With the help and dedication of many volunteers like you, the Lopez Island Library has become one of the most successful libraries in Washington. Thank You!
Not only is your help greatly appreciated in making this community service the best it possibly can, we also appreciate the time that you are taking from your own schedule to help others and contribute to the Library’s mission.
