Looking for a Volunteer Opportunity--or Know Someone Who Might Be?

The Friends--an all-volunteer organization--carry out a variety of activities in support of the library and the Friends organization.  These include helping to coordinate activities such as art talks and the Poets' Corner, serving on the Board or short-term committees, and helping with specific projects or tasks. We currently have a need for volunteers in the following areas:

Board members

Volunteers to Help Move Books Urgently Needed

The Friends need volunteers to help with occasional transporting of donated books in Green Valley and at times to Tucson.

Volunteers must have their own transportation and be strong enough to lift boxes of books. 

If you have time to give and would like to volunteer to help move books or to learn more, please email your name and telephone number to: Info@gvlibraryfriends.org

Thank you!
