Book Sale revenues, dues and donations fund our activities. These activities include:

  • The "Thursday Literary Club" meeting to discuss a book the 4th Thursday of every month in the Alma Ames Reading Room of the main library

  • Sponsoring local National Library Week activities

  • Sponsoring the Youth Summer Reading program

  • Purchasing furniture for the children's reading area

  • Sharing books and movies at Orchard House Retirement Center

  • Sponsoring library staff attendance at conferences outside the city budget

We work with the Library Board of Trustees to achieve the following long-term goals:

  • Purchasing book shelving

  • Improving the interior of the library

  • Expanding the library

Volunteer Opportunities
  • Read to children
  • Help with the summer reading program
  • "Read" and straighten shelves
  • Transport books to shut-ins
Volunteering at the library offers enjoyable work in a dynamic environment as well as the satisfaction of knowing how much your efforts benefit the community. It requires a commitment of your time, usually on a regular basis, plus participation in some basic orientation and training. Volunteer opportunities are open to people of all backgrounds who are at least 16 years of age.

All potential volunteers will be asked to complete a State Patrol background check form. Bleyhl Community Library will process this form prior to any decisions on individual placement. The library does not place people who have court-ordered community service as volunteers.
