Volunteers
Brigand Library has many opportunities for volunteers. Community folks, parents, grandparents or other interested parties who are willing to make a commitment to the school library program are invited to help out “@ the library.” There’s a volunteer job just waiting for the right person to walk through the library door: long-range projects, simple or complex tasks, computer/non-computer or typewriter jobs. Currently we have tons of Reading Counts! books sitting on the shelves ready for quiz dots. The BAS Brigand library is a quiet, friendly and active place to be. Visitors are always welcome.
If you have an interest in libraries and have time to make a commitment to the library program, please return the Volunteer Interest Survey, or stop by the library.
