The Friends operate a used book sale area in the library basement and hold public sales approximately every other month. To prepare for these sales, volunteers process and shelve donated items. Sorts are a great opportunity to socialize, chat about books, and help your library.

If you are interested in helping out, please email friends@gepl.org to schedule an orientation session.

Stay after storytime or just drop-in for an open playtime. Play with toys, listen to music, and have fun with friends. For kids of all ages and their grownups.

Help the Friends of the Library prepare their annual mailing. The voluntary contributions generated by the mailing help fund the library's collections and typically raise more than $15,000 for the library. Fold the solicitation letter, stuff envelopes, and affix pre-printed mailing labels. Enjoy coffee and friendly conversations.
