The heartbeat of the Library truly is our group of volunteers. 

We do not have the funds to pay the salary for a staff of professional librarians and without our wonderful volunteer librarians - ordinary citizens who donate a few hours each week to run the library - the Merida English Library would not exist! We thank them for opening our doors every day.
During a typical year, volunteers donate more than 5,000 hours running the library, cataloging books, hosting or working fund raising events, selling memberships, and making our services known to the community. Our volunteers also participate in planning for future enhancements to MEL. As always, we have volunteers who take a regular shift at the library on a weekly basis... and volunteers who give of their time to special events and other projects.

If YOU would like to volunteer at MEL, please come in and tell us what you have to offer, or send us an email at meridaenglishlibrary.acboard@gmail.com. We appreciate all hours spent by our members in helping run this library.
