The library provides many opportunities for people to contribute their time and talents to the community. Interested persons are invited to inquire at the library desk. The Homestead Messengers from 1880 are available for viewing. The Friends of the Library was founded in 1941 and is still very active in sponsoring events and fundraisers for the library. Their net proceeds are given annually to purchase books and equipment for the children's room.
Membership is open to all interested persons.
