Do More Than “Friend” the Library – Become a Friend

Posted on February 9, 2015 by

Friends of Richmond Free Library

The Friends of Richmond Free Library are a group of volunteers whose purpose is to:

  • Encourage community support of the library and staff;
  • Raise money to underwrite special purchases for the library as well as the summer reading program and its workshops, art classes, and special programs.

The Friends of RFL meet twice a year and always welcome new members!

Events where volunteers are welcome and needed:

  • Annual book sale in February. Upcoming: Feburary 13 & February 14, 2015
  • Staff an informational table at the library at the annual Richmond Holiday Market with books and library paraphernalia for sale. (upcoming: December 5, 2015.)
  • Richmond’s July 4th parade: staff a tent and table in front of library with water, books, and library paraphernalia for sale.

Other volunteer opportunities:

  • Help sort and box donated books year round.
  • Help during special programs (i.e. set up chairs, greet attendees)

And:

We are open to new ideas to support our dynamic community resource and welcome ideas for other fundraising events.

Donate:

Financial donations underwrite the summer reading program, which includes arts and crafts sessions, and special programs and performers. The Friends have also purchased items that are beyond the library’s normal operating budget, such as a DVD/CD repair machine and laptop.

Tax deductible donations accepted via the Donate button on the top of the library’s webpage or at:
