If you would like to help in any of the ways listed below, please contact us. We'd love to
hear from you.
Book Sale and The Book Cellar
There are many ways that you can help with the book sales from donating books to
sorting books to working at the book sale. We have a "Social Book Sorting" evening on
Wednesdays (see calendar for details) in the Friends' Room on the lower level of the
library. The Book Sale Chairman will provide a brief training to all new book sorters.
(We're sorry, but book dealers may not sort books.)
Newsletter
The FGFL newsletter is published three times a year. We are always looking for fresh
article ideas, help with editing and layout, and assistance preparing and mailing the
newsletters. For more information, visit Newsletters.
Membership
There is plenty to do to help out in our membership area from making phone calls to
managing membership data.
Publicity
There is always so much going on with the group, we need volunteers to help us
spread the word about our exciting book sales and projects. Would you like to help us
put up fliers, create bulletin boards and make announcements?
No matter what your expertise is, there is always a place for you at the FGFL.
"Some of my most vivid memories of childhood include trips to the Gale Free Library:
ascending the back staircase to the magical children's room for story time; sitting on
the rolling step stool in the basement reading; the smell of the books, the reverent hush
of a sacred place, and the bliss of getting lost between the covers of a book as I felt a
new world emerge before me. With so many books in one place, the library was my
idea of heaven. I have recently moved back to the area and find myself, like a magnet,
drawn to the library, quite happy to give a little bit in return for so many wonderful
memories."
- Jennifer Davies
Volunteering with the Friends, "...is my way of giving back to an organization that has
been such an integral part of my family's life. It makes me feel connected to the
community in which I live."
