You, the residents of Rochester,  have been very generous in donating book and videos to fill the shelves with materials that can be checked out.  Your Rochester Community Library is operated totally using volunteers.  All librarians and Library Board members serve without pay of any kind.  The library has no funding source for materials or supplies and relies totally upon donations from the residents of Rochester for these needed items.  Your generosity is very much appreciated by the volunteers.  We have received many comments from community members indicating how much they appreciate having a library here in Rochester.

The Rochester Library Board is in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) Corporation and will be able to provide you with receipts for your donations in the near future.

While there is a continuing need for books and videos in good condition there also a need for other types of supplies.  Listed below are some of the current items desired.  This list will be updated as needs change.  Thank you again for your generosity.

Volunteers to staff the library is a continuing need.  PLEASE consider becoming a Library Volunteer.  Click here to view the chart showing times when there is need for volunteers this month.  Training is available and the task is light!  For more information call the library at 273-9175, ext. 106 or e-mail Rachel at

The library is open for 13 two-hour periods each week.  That means there is the need for a minimum of 13 volunteers each week with only one volunteer per two-hour shift.  The afternoon shifts of 3:00 to 5:00 PM and 5:00 to 7:00 PM (NOTE: Afternoon hours during the winter-time are from 3:00 to 5:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays) often see a number of school students in the library doing homework.  Two volunteers for each of these time periods is the ultimate goal for providing proper library supervision and assistance.  We currently have only nine volunteers to fill those thirteen shifts so three are working several two-hour shifts each week.
