We need Friends who can lend a hand for various activities throughout the year. Whether you are a social butterfly or a total bookworm, NCLF needs your help!
The Book Room – where our collection of gently-used tomes lives in the library basement between sales – has been reorganized to make sorting a breeze, and has donations arriving regularly. If you’d like to join fellow bibliophiles as part of an ongoing team that can check on our ‘Intake’ shelves regularly, sort new donations, and keep the room in order, please reach out!
Outreach and Fundraising. The Friends Board is always seeking folks to help us with reaching new members and spreading the word for Friends and library events and programs. In late 2023 and 2024, we will also be kicking off a capital campaign, for which we'll need all the help we can get!
A Day in Old New Castle. Each Spring, the Friends partner with other local organizations to put on A Day in Old New Castle, the nation's longest-running private home and garden tour! This event is a major fundraiser supporting the New Castle Library Friends, and our community partners. Friends volunteers assist each year with ticket sales, staffing the event's information tables, and being available to answer questions and distribute event guides.
Beautification and Tending of the Memorial Garden. Beginning in 2023, the Friends will take an active role in maintaining the beautiful, brick courtyard in the front of the library. Members and volunteers with green thumbs and good ideas will be needed to help keep the space inviting for patrons and passersby.
Please complete our Volunteer Interest Survey or e-mail [email protected] if you have some time to help out with one of the needs above, or for something else!
