Volunteer

We’re always on the lookout for volunteers at the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library (KVML) who are willing to organize books for the library, assist with staffing our booth at festivals, fund-raising, grant writing, preparing mailers, special events including fundraisers and the Night of Vonnegut, and (if there is an accountant out there) help with our 990 filing.  If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please contact Kyle Hopkins, the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@vonnegutlibrary.org.
