Opportunity Details

Spruce up the Library (age 6+) *MLK Weekend 2019*


Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


Mission: Hillsboro Public Library enriches and strengthens our community by supporting the pursuit of connection, inspiration, and lifelong learning.

History: Opened in 2007 and expanded in 2013, the Brookwood Library houses most of the Hillsboro collections. Books, magazines and newspapers are on the second floor, along with plenty of seating, quiet reading rooms, computer lab and art gallery. 

During this service activity, we'll be cleaning and tidying the children's materials at the library--giving the books a good scrubbing and organizing the sections that get the most use. Enjoy a journey through your favorite children's books while getting them in great shape for the kids and families who read them.

Please wear closed toe shoes. We'll provide the rest of the materials you need!

We'll be sprucing up the library--really making it shine!
