The Friends of the Dayton Metro Library is a nonprofit organization made up of our greatest supporters. They are people who visit their library frequently to check out books, read magazines or look for movies or music. They may have children who use the library for school projects and homework. Maybe they benefit from the library's resources for businesses or job hunters, enjoy free classes and programs or take advantage of our outreach services for seniors. They all have one thing in common - they believe in the importance of the Dayton Metro Library.
Volunteer
The Friends of the Library sponsor an active volunteer program. At several libraries, teen volunteers help to coordinate activities and suggest book and movie purchases. Volunteers at the Main Library enter genealogical information into a database used by researchers throughout the area. Booksale volunteers set up and run two large booksales each year. Other volunteer opportunities are available as well. Click here for more information on volunteering at the library. Click here for the volunteer application.
