Interested in helping the library and your community?
Volunteers are an important part of the team at the Conway Public Library, New Hampshire!
The mission of the Conway Public Library volunteer program is to encourage and expand the involvement of community members in the growth of the Library and themselves. Library volunteers enhance library services by supplementing library staff. Volunteers perform a variety of tasks and projects while helping us to improve our services to the community. Days and times are usually flexible. Some people volunteer weekly, while others volunteer occasionally for specific projects.
The Conway Public Library is proud to cooperate with the local organizations when coordinating our volunteer efforts.
