Internet access will increase for patrons. Volunteers and community work programs have been important to the library. Currently there are ten volunteers, one Greenthumb worker, one Area Agency on Aging worker and six Allegany College work-study students who assist at the library as aides. Throughout the year, the library also acts as a sponsor for Employment and Training Program workers and the Department of Assistance Community Work Experience Program. Weekly radio spots on WSKE continue thanks to the volunteer efforts of Charlotte Koontz.
Programming is important to the library.
Story Hour is held every Friday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the summer reading program is very popular. A display cabinet features local collections. The library is a site for literacy training and the meeting place for many community groups. Since 1998, the library will become an Assistive Technology Lending Library, giving technology assistance to those with disabilities. The former circulation room will become the expanded reading and meeting room for many of these programs.
