Get involved with the Library

The foreground features two light teal armchairs and a royal blue beanbag chair in an inviting reading area. The wall is lined with waist high wooden bookshelves containing picture books. A metal rack sits atop of the bookshelf and holds childrens music CDs. A small plant sits next to the CD rack and colourful bunting hangs against the white wall.

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.

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

Please note that we are unable to accept book donations until our Friends of the Library can host a book sale and create some room in storage. Thank you for thinking of us! Donations of puzzles are most welcome, though, and can be dropped off during open hours. We’ll update this section when we’re accepting donations again.

All donated materials become the property of the library and will be added, discarded, or sold at the library’s discretion. We are unable to accept encyclopedias, textbooks, and damaged or musty books.

Thank you for your support!.
