Are you in junior high or older and would like to earn some volunteer hours? Next week, Oct 15-20, is our Patron Count Week. We need volunteers to count people coming into the building for all of the hours that we’re open. It’s easy to do and you can even read or do your homework while you’re counting!

If you’re interested we have lots of spaces available so please call Sarah at 281-492-8592 or stop by the information desk to sign up. You can still volunteer for Patron Count Week if you haven’t come to orientation but we do need you to fill out a volunteer application.

Thanks for your help!

Help Wanted

Submitted by Luanna Adams on Thu, 02/16/2012 - 3:32pm

Help Wanted Our neighbors in the Fairbanks area are very generous when it comes to donating books to the Friends of the Library. Many of the books look almost brand new. In spite of this, there are always plenty of books left over after a book sale. So, the Friends need volunteers to sell the books online through Amazon.com. Duties would include listing the books on the Amazon web site and shipping them when they’re purchased. Please leave your name and number with the staff if you’re interested.

Many Thanks

Check Jean H. puts in a lot of volunteer hours at the library, doing literacy tutoring, going through the donated books and other items, restocking the shelves in the front hallway, and acting as Treasurer for the Friends of the Library. Because she puts in so many volunteer hours here, her employer, CenterPoint Energy, has donated $500 to the Friends of the Library. Thank you Jean and thank you CenterPoint!! [Despite how much Jean does, the library is always looking for additional intelligent, reliable volunteers, especially adults, because they can volunteer while the teenagers are at school.] Clipart © Jupiter Images.

Looking for a few good volunteers

Submitted by Christina Thompson on Mon, 10/17/2011 - 11:34am

Do you dream in alphabetical order? Do you have visions of books standing in a pristine row? Then the North Channel Library needs your help! We are always looking for eager volunteers to help us keep our shelves in order. Our volunteers help us shelve and neaten all the books in our very busy library (and occasionally are called into action to help us with programs as you can see). Our volunteers generally come in once a week for 2 hours and should be 14 or older. Teens, this is a great way to earn your National Honor Society hours! If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out a volunteer application form and ask to speak with Christina when you bring it to the library. Any questions, please c
