Our volunteers are critical to the success of our libraries. To volunteer, you must be a F.O.L.K. member in good standing with all dues paid.

We require all Friends of the Libraries, Kona volunteers to be members of F.O.L.K.  If you are a member-in-good-standing with annual dues current, please complete the Volunteer Registration form. After the form is complete and submitted, our Volunteer Director will contact you.
