Get involved with the Library
Friends of the Library
Friends of the Library focus on fundraising projects for special items for the library. Ongoing projects include the semi-annual book sales, weekly bridge sessions and bridge lessons.
The Friends meet monthly at the library to review progress and to discuss new ideas.
Please contact Ellen Sills at ellen.sills@sympatico.ca if you would like to help out with the Friends of the Library or for more information. We are always happy to have new members. All types of ideas and levels of assistance are welcome.
Volunteers
The work of over one hundred volunteers helps us provide extended services to the community. They assist staff by checking materials in and out, mending books, processing new books, shelving books, gardening and organizing fundraising.
For more information or to apply, please contact nballa-boudreau@deepriverlibrary.ca or call 613 584-4244. Application forms are available at the front desk.
Donate to the Library
All donations are appreciated, and make a very big difference to our library’s collection and services.
We’re a registered charity, and may issue tax receipts for financial donations of $20 or more. To make a donation, please find us online at Canada Helps or write a cheque payable to the Deep River Public Library and drop by during open hours or mail to PO Box 278, Deep River ON, K0J 1P0.
To sponsor a magazine (in your name or as a gift), please contact Naomi at nballa-boudreau@deepriverlibrary.ca for details.
Donating materials
Book donations are again welcome! We are particularly interested in books from the last ten years in good condition. We are unable to accept encyclopedias, textbooks, and damaged or musty books. Donations of puzzles are also welcome for our rotating collection by the elevator. All donations may be dropped off during open hours.
All donated materials become the property of the library and will be added, discarded, or sold at the library’s discretion.
Thank you for your support!
