We’d also like to thank: The Luzerne Foundation, Jacobi Capital Management, Pamela & Michel Lacroix, M&T Bank, Erwine Home Health & Hospice, and the McGowan-Martin Family, for supporting our Young Adult/ Teen Computer Space!
Dozens of volunteers, from teens to seniors, are critical to the Library. They work in all the locations and perform vital jobs. As valued members of the Osterhout team, volunteers learn about our many programs and they’re constantly exposed to ideas, books, book lovers, and authors. It’s a great way to serve your community while meeting interesting people and expanding your horizons.
