We are in need of volunteers to run the library. As you know, we can't run without our volunteers and we are in need to people who can give three hours one day a week, or an hour a couple of days a week to help shelve books and more. Please contact Karen Field at clal@cityofcrosslake.org or stop in for an application.

A huge thank you to all of our volunteers who organize and run the book sales throughout the summer. Thank you to the community who donate books and come back for more.

Fall Book Donations

While we will continue to accept donations over the fall and winter, we ask that you donate only books that are relatively new and in excellent shape. We cannot store older titles or books that do not meet our donation policy. When preparing items for donation, please read the Donation Policy below before you bring your donations in.  Again, storage space is limited so make sure your books meet our requirements.  We will accept donations during library hours of operation only
*Please do not put donated items in the book drops.  They are available for returning current collection items only.  Thank you.

Puzzled for Rainy Inside Activities?
