SPRING DATES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE LIBRARY VOLUNTEER CALENDAR!

Have you heard how much fun it is to volunteer in the library, but you thought it was too late to sign up this year? It's not!

I enthusiastically welcome volunteers in the Library to help check books in and out, assist with shelving, and other easy-to-learn tasks. You may come during your child’s library class or during a different class - whichever works best for your schedule. Please email me at driscollb@chelmsford.k12.ma.us if you would like to be included in the rotating volunteer schedule. Let me know how often you would prefer to come in (weekly, monthly, once or twice a year) . Please note that some classes will have more opportunities to come in than others, depending on how many volunteers sign up. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,

Mrs. Driscoll

Tis the season!

All donations will be delivered to Byam Elementary School. If you are interested in buying a gift, please take a look at the link below. Any and all support is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your generosity and kindness during this holiday season!
