Volunteering Opportunities

The Ridgefield Library welcomes volunteers of all ages from throughout the community, for projects ranging from one-time help with a mailing to the long-term commitment of serving on an advisory board.

Summer Reading Program 2010

Volunteering training and scheduling for this year has been completed, and we cannot accept any new Summer Reading volunteers at this time. Please see below for additional volunteer opportunities at the Library.

Community Service Volunteering

Need to log some community service hours for school, church or synagogue, Scouts or another club, or resume for college? Get on the list to help out with shelving, mailings, special events and whatever else comes up. Scheduling varies based on the project. Individual longer-term special projects also may be arranged.

Homebound Delivery Service

The Library’s Homebound Delivery Service supplies library materials directly to those unable to come to the Library on their own due to health or mobility problems. Drivers are needed to make deliveries and pickups on a pre-arranged schedule.

Community Outreach Committee

Volunteers with an interest in the development, implementation and promotion of Library programs and services for various user groups are invited to get involved with our Community Outreach Committees. Active groups are working with staff to improve and expand service to preschoolers and their families, elementary and middle schoolers and older adults. Current and recent outreach committee projects include Books for Babes, Homebound Delivery Service, Fall for the Library card registration event and the Preschool Explorers Day.

CURRENT OPPORTUNITY! The "Younger Set" committee is seeking new members to help plan and put on activities for preschoolers and their families. Contact Diane Antezzo in Children's Services at 203-438-2282 x1024 or dhantezzo@ridgefieldlibrary.org if you would like to get involved.

Friends of the Library

The Friends is an independent volunteer organization that organizes book sales and other activities to raise funds to support Library programs and services. Volunteers are always needed to help out the weeks of the spring and fall used book sales, to sort incoming donated books on an ongoing basis, and to research and process items for our Internet book sales operation. Contact Book Sale Chair Joan Laspia at 203-431-8766 or Volunteer Scheduling Coordinator Ginny Canfield at 203-438-9890 or vcanfield@comcast.net .
