Volunteer Opportunities

The Fiske Library is a registered non-profit foundation. This means that all the work is done by a busy cadre of dedicated volunteers, some donating up to 15-20 hours per week. More regular volunteers would lighten their load! 

Currently, there are three positions that are especially in need of new volunteers:

Wednesday afternoon librarian between 3 pm and 6 pm.
Saturday librarian on a regular, once or twice per month  schedule.
Newsletter distribution team once every three months for folding, labeling and mailing.
In the past, the bulk mailing of the Newsletter required about 40 hours of concentrated work, four times per year. Four volunteers could complete the task in one dedicated day, or eight volunteers in less time.  

However, the mailing process has recently been streamlined because the Pioneer Society has authorized Fiske to use their bulk mailing permit. 

The newsletter will be pre-printed with the postage permit, thus eliminating the need to stamp each newsletter.

Are there a group of members who wish to receive their newsletter by US post that would like to work together on this task?

Training will be provided, and the next issue isn’t due until March.  

We need your help! Please call the library if you can spare a few hours on a quarterly basis.
