Ongoing Volunteer Projects
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.
Adopt-a-Shelf:
Volunteers are assigned a bookcase and become responsible for its upkeep. Shelf-read to make sure items are in order, shift items when space is tight, and dust when necessary.
Checking Multi-Media:
The library houses audiobooks, cds, dvds, and videogames which need to be shelf-read, made sure they’re labeled properly, checked for damage or missing discs, and wiped down.
Library History Collection:
Our local history collection needs some tender loving care from someone who enjoys history, sorting, filing and scanning. We have several tasks that may be simple or quite involved, depending on your interest.
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. 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.
Check out what a wonderful time everyone had in April 2019.
