Volunteers will be needed to help with a variety of library functions, such as sorting/shelving books, helping younger students find books that suit their needs, book processing, book fairs, etc.  There are daily, weekly or monthly opportunities available to fit any schedule.  I would like to encourage anyone who loves books and wants to be a part of the 2015-2016 Library Volunteer Team to please visit me in the library or contact me at bvera@harmonytx.org.  After school opportunities are available for students who would like to volunteer.  Please see Ms. Vera if you have any questions!
