Hello!

I have enjoyed my title as "Volunteer Coordinator" because it has given me an opportunity to get to know some wonderful people. Speaking of an opportunity, perhaps we have an opportunity for you?
Library volunteers do many and varied tasks that suit their time and talent. Their contributions to the library are immeasurable and are so appreciated by the library staff.

Here's a short list of some of the ways volunteers are currently helping:

     * Cover new materials
     * Shelve materials
     * "Read" the shelves
     * Cut out items for story time
     * Design flyers for programs
     * Share flower arrangements from their gardens
     * Cut out bookmarks for new patrons
     * Weed the flowers bordering the walkway
     * Help with children's programs (Mother's Day tea, gingerbread house construction, etc.)
     * "Junior" Volunteers (5th grade and up) for ongoing weekly assistance
     * Delete old materials from the database
     * Clean audiovisual cases before re-circulation

Do you have computer skills? Do you know how to use Microsoft Publisher....or would you like to learn? Have you always wanted to know how we cover our books? Has this helped generate an idea of something you might like to share with the library? I welcome your input! I can be reached by calling
524-6042 or via e-mail: library@gilfordlibrary.org.

See you at the library!

Volunteer Coordinator
