Volunteers
The Roeliff Jansen Community Library is unique in our dependence on volunteers. Over 95% of the labor that makes this a great institution is contributed by volunteers. Even in the community library world, that’s a really high number. Our new building has created both need and opportunity for you to make an important contribution to our success. Use of the library appears to be more than doubling and attendance at library events has sky rocketed.
Volunteers support staff in many ways. They shelve books, read shelves, work at the circulation desk, water plants, deliver books to the homebound, teach computer classes, help with programming, help with the newsletter, assist with books sales, bake cookies and work on special projects.
There are many different ways in which volunteers serve the library, from regular time commitments to one-time events.
You are invited to join our dedicated group of volunteers. Request an application at the circulation desk. We welcome your gift of time.
