We invite you to share your time and talents with
the Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield Public Library, in one of our many rewarding
volunteer opportunities. Our
volunteers - currently approximately 160 strong - help us celebrate the joys of
literacy, learning and volunteerism. In
2003, they donated more than 20,000 hours of service to the Library. By contributing a few hours of your time, you too, can
support the Library's commitment to providing excellent services to our
community.
