Volunteer with the Friends of the EDH Library

The Friends of the EDH Library is entirely comprised of volunteers. Let us know about your skills and interests by sending us an email today. You are also invited to attend one of our monthly general meetings, usually held the first Wednesday of the month at 3:30 p.m. in the library’s Community Room. Meetings are open to the public, and allow you to meet the Board of Directors, committee chairs, and other committed volunteers.   

We encourage anyone with potential interest in joining our active volunteer team to reach out and attend a meeting!
