– Donate & Volunteer

There are many ways you can help support the library’s mission to serve the community:

Volunteer:
The Mary S. Biesecker Public Library is always looking for dedicated, energetic volunteers to help with library operations & community outreach projects. Being a volunteer at the library requires a series of clearances that we can help you procure. If you are interested in helping, please submit this online form and we’ll be in touch with more information.

We will gladly accept book donations during most times of the year, unless otherwise stated. Please note that all books should be handed to a librarian, NOT dropped in the book drop.
