Mission

The mission of the Spring Lake District Library is to provide current, high-interest materials in a variety of formats, to encourage children’s interest in reading by offering a stimulating array of materials and programs, and to serve as an informational center for the community.

Volunteer

Volunteers provide valuable support and assistance to the library staff. Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Shelving books
  • Computer tutoring
  • Preparing for programs

Volunteers must be 12 years of age or older.  To apply, pick up a volunteer application at the checkout desk and fill it out.

During the summer, the Youth Services department seeks teen volunteers for assistance with Summer Reading. Applications are usually due by mid-April.
