Volunteer Programs

Dover Free Library is a community learning center: neighbors working together to enable everyone to get connected to worldwide literature, art and entertainment, news, education and information, as well as to connect locally through discussion groups and cultural and social events. The participation of local residents coupled with individual volunteer services (including volunteer trustees) determines the vitality and effectiveness of all other programs and services.
