A Heartfelt Thank You During Volunteer Week

Thank you to all our volunteers for their dedication, time, and enthusiasm which keep our library alive and thriving. Whether you are shelving books, welcoming visitors, running events, or simply being a friendly face at the door — every contribution you make is noticed and deeply appreciated.
Because of your commitment, the library continues to be a vital heart of Helmsley — a place where people of all ages can learn, connect, and find community. That wouldn’t be possible without you.
Thank you for giving so generously of your time and for caring so much about this wonderful resource. We are truly lucky to have each and every one of you.
