Volunteers
There are a variety of ways volunteers contribute to the Library.
Aplington Legion Memorial asks that volunteers commit to serve at the library over an extended period of time. This commitment could be as little as an hour a week or as many hours a week a volunteer is willing to donate. This will maximize the service you provide as well as the time the director and staff put forth in training.
Please contact the director at akarsjens@aplington.lib.ia.us or call 319-347-2432
