Capitan Public Library is operated by an
all-volunteer staff of over 30 Lincoln County
residents. Each year volunteers log more than 5000
hours of amazing support.
New volunteers are always welcome. Opportunities
include a regular assignment of one four-hour shift
once per week. Others assist with special projects
or fill-in as a substitute volunteer during library
hours.
If you have an interest in being part of this
remarkable community effort, please contact
the librarian.
