Regras

The only thing we require you to do is to commit fully to the library while working! The title "library" my be misleading because there is always work to do here and we want our volunteers to get done as much as they can while enjoying this beautiful place!

This of course does not mean we expect you to work 24/7, but being commited to your work is something we truly value.
