Our FoVL is run by an ALL-VOLUNTEER board of directors who are dedicated to improving the library. 
Most members have served for many consecutive terms and have held multiple offices and responsibilities.
​If you are interested in being another hard-working volunteer or on the Board of Directors, please contact us either via Facebook, Instagram, email or leave a message at the front desk of the Venice Branch Library.
