Volunteer


Friends can provide the library with a group of people to call on for specific projects:

  • You can assist in non-library activities (e.g. maintaining gardens, cleaning, etc.)
  • You can assist staff in other activities such as shut-in service, recording survey information, assisting with special interest groups, etc.
  • At smaller libraries, volunteers may assist in day-to-day operations of the library.

Some of the goals that the Friends of Libraries hope to achieve include:

  • Promoting library collections and services so that library materials no longer remain "the best kept secrets" on campus or in the community.
  • Assisting the library in its effort to develop long term financial support for the future.
  • Advocacy on and off campus for the improvement of the library's collections, facilities, and services.

These aims are achieved by:

Promotion
Acting in a public relations role while promoting and/or organising cultural, educational and leisure facilities and/or activities in the library in question.
Fundraising
Raising funds and grant monies to support specific projects as requested by the library manager or as initiated by the Friends of Libraries in co-operation with the library manager.
Lobbying
Bringing pressure to bear on politicians and parliamentarians in matters of library policies and funding for library services.
