Our library is a bustling, active heart of our school, and we have many opportunities for family and community members to volunteer. This year, we have expanded our volunteer opportunities into a program called Friends of Maywood Hills Library. If you would like to help support students in the library, join us as a guest reader, share your job or a family celebration, or help with our Salmon in the Library program, we would love to have you join us!
