OUR STAFF & VOLUNTEERS
THE VOLUNTEERS
The generosity of the Town of Southwest Harbor, patrons and angels who contribute every year, and a host of dedicated volunteers, who give us more hours than we can count, support the Southwest Harbor Public Library.
These good people mend books and shelve them, clean and refurbish the Library every Spring and Fall, replace windows and wash them, conceive and staff countless fundraisers and generally help everywhere. Volunteers designed and produced this web site. Click on the Friends of the Library and the Book Sales at the Library page links (on the main About The Library page) to read about some of the volunteers’ many projects.
THE STAFF
Our loyal and very special staff makes our library one of the friendliest places on the island. Summer and winter alike, people bring their questions, problems and enthusiasms and lay them before these very talented people. Our staff always seems to have time for whatever we bring them. We are truly thankful.
