Volunteers prepare all of the material for library use by applying covers, labels, and mending damaged materials. Volunteers prepare displays of community interest, prepare the bulletin board each month, and arrange special book displays. Volunteers clean the library weekly and assist in keeping the exterior of the building inviting and in good condition. Volunteers maintain library history scrapbooks and assist with the publicity and promotion of the library. Volunteers tutor adults and children in the library in coordination with the Kendall County Literacy Council.
Volunteers develop and conduct story hours for pre-schoolers and the family summer reading program.
The Friends assist with fund raising by sponsoring a used book sale each Saturday morning at the Community Center. They also sponsor a much larger book sale each Fall. The Friends assist the Board of Trustees with the Annual Harvest Dinner and Country Store each September and with the smaller but more numerous events throughout the year. The Friend's primary membership drive is held each February, but membership forms are available in the Library all year.
