We're Looking for a Few Good Women and Men!

   

 

Want to be part of a community resource?  Want to have access to the latest books & DVDs? Want an insider's view of how a library functions? If you answer "yes" to any or all of these questions then consider volunteering at the Stratford Public Library! You only have to be available a few hours each week to make a difference because we are a volunteer staff and need people to fill various shifts in order to keep our doors open & our library a thriving center. We are especially anxious to meet people who can work Thursday afternoons or Monday evenings. If you would like to give it a try please drop by the library or call Alfred Encarnacion, Director or Sydney Mason, Assistant Director at the library's main number (856)783-0602
