CRAFTERS SUPPLIES GIVE and TAKE:  Community members are invited to bring in craft supplies they no longer need.  The craft supplies are organized by category and then everyone is invited to come and take what they can use during the two-day event.  Volunteers are needed for the planning team, intake and organization day, as cashiers and floaters during the event, and for cleanup afterwards.

GET OUT THE VOTE:  Working for three to four months prior to the library vote in September, this committee creates and implements a plan to encourage our membership and library patrons to participate in the upcoming budget vote.  The week of the vote, volunteers are needed to place and then remove GOTV road signs.

HOSPITALITY:  This committee provides refreshments for Friends and Library activities.  We welcome all who like to bake, help supply refreshments or assist at hosting during programs.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE:  This committee promotes new and renewed Friends membership, maintains membership records, and manages new member applications during Friends events.  Volunteers are needed to help staff the membership table at these events.

PLANT GIVE AND TAKE:  Each year in the spring, we host an opportunity for gardeners to exchange bare root plants or gardening books and magazines.  New gardeners with nothing to swap are encouraged to join us and find plants for their gardens.  All are given the opportunity to make a donation, and all donations benefit the library.  We can use volunteers to plan the event, set up, and clean up, as well as plant experts to help during the event.

TWO TOWNS-ONE BOOK:  Become part of the Two Towns-One Book Committee to screen and refine the list of nominated books by becoming a summer reader, plan events and publicity, and/or put on the many activities for children and adults associated with this community-wide read.

USED BOOK SALES:  The Friends conduct multiple used book sales each year.  All money raised supports the Library and its programs.  Volunteers sort books on a weekly basis.  During the sale, other volunteers set up and take down sale areas, keep the sales floor organized, assist patrons, bag books, and work as cashiers.
