Volunteer Drive
Your volunteer help is desperately needed. Our Volunteer Drive flyers are available at the library and throughout town. You can also give us a call at 608-924-3711 to discuss volunteer opportunities. Please consider if you can help up out in one of the ways below.
The library needs volunteers to assist with several routine tasks that must often be set aside as our staff prioritizes serving library patrons. These tasks require little or no training such as shelf reading, shelf facing, book mending, sorting donated items, landscape maintenance, and basic building maintenance. Also, if you have skills in areas such as databases, spreadsheets, graphic design, social media, creating displays, scanning, webpage management, phone and tablet troubleshooting, or computer literacy, a small amount of your time could go a long way in freeing staff time and improving library services.
We also need volunteers to enrich library programming. We do not have the staff hours available to run library services upstairs and programs downstairs at the same time. For example, we currently offer no youth programming because of this limitation. We do have a room full of items including, board games, construction sets, a movie projector, a VR headset, a basketball arcade game, a piano keyboard, and shelves of arts and crafts supplies. All we need is a volunteer willing to supervise and engage with our youth in these activities. Programs for all ages can be enriched and sustained by volunteers willing to share their hobbies and interests. Our library staff will assist volunteers any way we can to create, promote, and present their areas of expertise to our community.
Finally, we need to increase membership in The Friends of the Barneveld Library. This group was formed to support, promote, and raise additional funds for the library. The Friends have been maintained by a dedicated few for a long time, and we now need others to take over the leadership and “legwork” of this group. The Friends are the library’s window to the issues, concerns, and needs of our community. They also allow us to expand our services and programs in innovative and exciting ways by raising funds to supplement our annual budget appropriations. This group needs people who can freely share, discuss, organize, and act upon initiatives to enrich our community through library programs and services. All ages are welcome to join the Friends of the Barneveld Library.
