Expectations for new workers

 * A volunteer will be interviewed by a local Bishop and will serve at least one 4-6 hour shift per week for at least one year.
 * We design the shift(s) around the availability of the volunteer/missionary and also the needs of the Library. The library is open Monday thru Saturday and by appointment on Sundays and some evenings.
