Library Materials Available: include books, large print books, magazines, interlibrary loan books, cassettes, talking books.
Registration
Requires only a telephone call to the visiting library co-ordinator who will arrange for a volunteer to initiate the service.
Volunteers always welcome. If you are interested in provided library service to those members of the community who are unable to visit the library please give us a call. After an informal interview with the library co-ordinator volunteers will be matched with compatible clients and trained in pertinent library procedures (2-5 hours). A time frame of about 2 hours per client is expected (included the choosing and checking out of books and the client visit).
A commitment of six months is required by volunteers to ensure continuity of service. Volunteers must have their own means of transportation.
The Friends of the Georgina Public Library System invite you to become actively involved in a much needed service in our community. Help others access the wonderful world of books and learning.
