BHL Friends volunteers make things happen!

Many people volunteer to help with a variety of tasks when they join or renew their memberships. The membership form lists categories with which the Friends need help.

Since people's schedules change, not all volunteer duties require a regular commitment. Some can be done whenever the volunteer is in the library. Others are more regular, such as the newsletter workers who prepare and mail the newsletter every other month. If some of these appeal to you, you can volunteer by using our contact form or leave a message at the BHL Friends office number (302) 477-1945 and a volunteer will get back to you.

Flexible schedule volunteer activities:

Shelf Reading - volunteers checking shelves to ensure that all the materials on a shelf are in the correct order.

Checking AV materials (for damage) - when returned materials are reported as damaged they cannot circulate again until they're checked. Checking allows the material to be replaced or put back into circulation if it works properly.

Web Site volunteers - to develop and improve our Friends of BHL Web pages.

Newsletter article writing - submissions by Friends to our newsletter are welcome. Articles may be included in the newsletter or Web pages.

Volunteer activities at specific times:

Newsletter Mailings - every other month

Helping with Children's art projects - when programs are scheduled

Library Guide/Greeter - needed for special programs, Friends' annual membership drive during National Library Week
