Bronxville Library Loves Their Volunteers

Many volunteers are responsible for the programs and other daily operations that makes the library function as well as it does.

 

Ever wondered how the does it all from reshelving of books and organization to reference and youth programs?

Beside the wonderful full time and part time librarians, the Library is assisted each year by countless volunteers, some fulfilling their school volunteer requirement and some selfless volunteers who keep coming back to help carry on the Library’s special services.
