We’re looking for a few good volunteers!

Are you interested in supporting the library?
We’re looking for a few good volunteers to drive our homebound delivery routes to local patrons who can’t make it to the library. Each route takes 1 to 3 hours to deliver, and you get the opportunity to share the library with people around the community who are unable to come themselves. For information, please call 440-255-8811 ext. 219.
Donations!
Do you have books, movies, magazines, etc. that need a good home? Mentor Public Library is now taking donations!
