You will be contacted by the Committee Chair to discuss your volunteer possibilities.

The following is a brief description of the volunteer opportunities.
Adopt-A -Shelf


Work on your own time schedule and assist the librarians in keeping the collection in order on the shelves.



 Book Sales



Join this vibrant committee, there are all types of jobs at all levels. 



From volunteering at the big sales in November and May, to weekly sorting of the donated books, to the daily on-going sale, there are plenty of up-front and behind-the-scenes work.

Election Day Library Card Registration


Volunteers are located at different voting places on Election Day, to sign up voters for library cards and to inform them of library programs. Shifts are usually 2 hours long.

                                                                     

 

 

 

Fund Raising Events

This committee is composed of individuals who like to work on, one-time, short term events. 
                                                               



Whether it is at planning stages, the day of event or somewhere in between, your help will make our event a success.     

 

Membership Activities 


This committee assists with mailings to the members, attend Friends sponsored events to promote membership to the Friends, and do meet and greet days.  There are plenty behind-the-scene jobs too!





Newsletter Mailing Days
 
Come by for a few hours to assist with the stuffing, labeling, and mailing of the Library's Footnotes and Calendar of Events. Generally mailing days are held on the 3rd or 4th Thursday mornings, five times a year.
