Regular Volunteer Tasks
Wiping Materials
Dust and sticky fingers are an unavoidable occurrence at the library. Our simplest task is to dust shelves and books, and/or sanitizing-wipe down computers and children's toys.
Shelf-Reading:
Volunteers are assigned a section of the collection and become responsible for its upkeep. Shelf-reading includes reading each call number in order to ensure that the items are properly shelved. Shift items when they are crooked or space is tight, and dust when necessary.
Checking Multi-Media:
The library houses audiobooks, cds, dvds, and videogames which need to be shelf-read, examined for damage or missing discs, ensure all are properly labeled, and wiped down.
Book Sale Helper:
Our Book Sale Committee is always looking for people who can move loads of books and/or sort them for our bi-annual sales or Balcony Bookstore. Click here for more information.

Volunteer Appreciation Social
Volunteers are the undeclared support of every library. Since 2013, Geneva Public Library has hosted an Annual Volunteer Appreciation Social event, allowing our library staff the chance to show their gratitude for all volunteers do to keep the library running. In 2015, Geneva Reads, who had also been hosting Volunteer of the Year events, and the Geneva Library decided to team up to co-host one spectacular occasion each year during National Volunteer Week.
See what a wonderful time everyone had in April 2023.
