Library Volunteers Needed

The McKinley Library relies on a dedicated team of volunteers to help keep the library running smoothly. Volunteers help to check books in and out for our students and assist with shelving as well. If you'd like to volunteer your time in our library, or if you have questions about our library volunteer program, please reach out to our librarian, Ms. Strohecker, at LaurenStrohecker@abington.k12.pa.us. An Abington School District volunteer badge is required to volunteer. Thank you!
