Volunteer Activities: Join us at Beatties Ford Library for a rewarding hour or so tutoring with some great kids! Volunteers will pair up with students (primarily Elementary) and help them with various homework assignments. These are very informal tutoring sessions and there are other tutors & library staff available to assist you with when needed.
