Mrs. Mirabito is seeking volunteers to assist in the library! Initial training sessions will take place in the mornings, but scheduling can be more flexible after that. This is a wonderful opportunity for grandparents, retirees, or anyone looking to make a meaningful contribution. As an added bonus, seniors can qualify for up to $750 off their property taxes through a special arrangement with the town hall.

If you're interested or know someone who might be, please reach out to Mrs. Mirabito at lauramirabito@oldrochester.org.
