Call for Volunteers!!

We need Friends who can lend a hand for various activities coming up in 2022. Whether you are a social butterfly or a total bookworm, NCLF needs your help to gear up for a great year!
 
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!

May Market Book Sale, Friday, May 6th and Saturday, May 7th. We will need help to cover shifts at our tables and to help move our materials to and from the Arsenal, before and after the event. Arasapha Garden Club has graciously kept the Friends on as their sole non-food vendor for this year’s 80th Anniversary event, and they also need volunteers. 

A Day in Old New Castle, Sunday, May 21st.  We are excited to announce that planning for the 98th A Day In Old New Castle day is well underway!  This event is a major fundraiser supporting the New Castle Library Friends, our community partners & organizations and local residents.  Volunteer assistance will include ticket sales, staffing 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 e-mail nclibraryfriends@gmail.com if you have some time to help out with one of the needs above, or for something else!

Annual Book Sales

NCLF holds a series of  book sales, in conjunction with May Market, Separation Day, Art on the Green, and The Spirit of Christmas.   Volunteers are needed to organize materials, help with set-up and tear-down, and cashier.  If you are interested in being a volunteer, please contact us at nclibraryfriends@gmail.com.
