Join us tonight, May 21st at 6:30 for our New Volunteer Orientation!  We accept volunteers of all ages, though any volunteers under the age of 12 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian while volunteering.  Once you have attended the orientation and submitted your volunteer application, you are able to volunteer any time the library is open to the public!

Volunteers help with exciting programs such as our weekly Saturday @ the Movies, Patron Count Week, Tweeners, Friday Movie, and Tuesday Special Program!  This year we will be offering a very special Volunteer Summer Camp for a limited number of volunteers.  To find out more about Volunteer Summer Camp, please come to the New Volunteer Orientation or ask at the Information Desk.

If you are not able to attend the May 21st Orientation, the next New Volunteer Orientation will be Monday, June 4th at 6:30 PM.

 

Patron Count Week is Coming!

Submitted by Amy C. on Mon, 02/27/2012 - 12:34pm

Patron Count Week is coming, and that means we need volunteers!  So what does that mean for you?

Patron Count Week is March 11-17th.  We need a volunteer to sit at a table in our lobby every hour the library is open to the public to count each man, woman, and child who enters.  Sound like a big job?  It’s not!  Anyone who knows their numbers is welcome to help out.  In between counting, you can even catch up on the latest celebrity gossip with a magazine or keep your nose in your favorite book!

If you are interested in learning more about Volunteering at the library and for Patron Count Week, come to our next New Volunteer Orientation on Monday, March 5th at 6:30 PM.  To sign up for Patron Count Week, call the library at 281-550-0885 or stop by the Information Desk.  

 

Giving Back

Everyone Helps, Everyone WinsDavid T. Levinson recently put out a great book showing you how to make the world a better place.  Organizing over fifty thousand volunteers, he's got what it takes to write on the subject.  Check out Everyone Helps, Everyone Wins.  Whether you write a check, help someone out, or volunteer locally (say, at the library - hint, hint), everyone wins.
