The library depends on its volunteers to keep its doors open.
Most volunteers work 2 ½ hour shifts, either weekly or biweekly.
They may help to check books in and out, assist patrons, shelve
books, tapes, videos, and DVDs; put labels on new items; or
help keep the computers running. Volunteers range from middle
school and high school students to retired folks.
If you would like to volunteer at the library (either
by taking a weekly or biweekly 2 ½-hour shift or by helping
with special projects for toddlers/preschoolers, elementary-school-age
kids, or young adults, or with a family game night or anything
else!), stop by and fill out a volunteer information form. Working
at the library is a great way to get to know your neighbors!
For the past year, we have benefited from the assistance of
Joseph LaClaire. A recent high school graduate who grew up in
Leverett, Joseph performs a variety of tasks from helping to
open up and close down the library to collecting items to send
to patrons at other libraries to shelving books. Joseph says
that the best part about volunteering is that he gets to be
around so many books, and the worst part is that he can’t stop
and read them all while he is working here! The library couldn’t
run without our 30-40 volunteers who perform a variety of tasks
from helping out at the front desk to working behind the scenes
covering new books, delivering items to homebound residents,
working on the library website, and much more. We are always
looking for new volunteers, and will try to find tasks that
interest you.
We are currently looking for a volunteer who would like to
repair damaged books. We will provide the supplies, and you may
do the work at the library or at your own home at your
convenience.
