We have active volunteers who help each week in the library. Thanks to Holly, Carol, Angela, Linda, Louise, Pat, and Cyd. We also welcome teen volunteers. Currently, we have Lilly, Sydney and Brook.  If you have a few hours a month and would like to volunteer on a regular basis, come into the library and talk with us about how you might help.

We are currently working on indexing the obituaries from the Granville Sentinel. Working backward, we have completed the index to 1932 1898 with over 25, 000 entries. Any help with this project will be greatly appreciated.  See the Local History page for more information.
