LIBRARY VOLUNTEERS

The Stratford Public Library's volunteers are among the most important members of the library community. Their work is essential in enabling us to provide the best service we can for our patrons, in the interest of meeting their educational and entertainment needs.

Our volunteers are great, and they can always be counted upon to do a first-class job, but there is always room for more volunteers. To find out how to become one, please contact Library Director Alfred Encarnacion or Assistant Director Sydney Mason at 856-783-0602.
