Summer break for our donation volunteers has come to an end. Volunteers are back at the Library on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month from 12:00 - 4:00 P.M. to accept donations of good, gently-used books, DVDs, music CDs, and puzzles.

After volunteers sort the donated items, they are reviewed by librarians for addition into their circulating collections. If not selected, they are boxed and stored until the next Friends of the Library book sale fundraiser.

Unavailable to drop off donations on Tuesday afternoons? Small donations, like just a handful of items, can be left with library staff at the library service desk any time during open hours. For large donations, like a bag/box or more of items, please schedule a drop-off appointment by emailing the Friends of the New Richmond Community Library at [email protected]. This ensures a volunteer will be there to accept your donation.

So many thanks to our community who donated items this spring, volunteered on donation days or during the book sale, and shopped at the sale last week. Your generosity helped our small nonprofit get used books, DVDs, music CDs, and puzzles into new homes and raise $5,100! The funds raised are used to support library programs and collections. Thank you!

The Friends are hosting a program for young children on select Monday mornings from 9:30-11:00AM this summer.

Sensory Play Time gives young children the opportunity to explore solids or liquids while using their senses of touch, sight, smell, and sound to scoop and dump different materials each week at the Library's sensory table.

This program will happen outdoors on the north side of the Library near the playground equipment. Since it is an outdoor program, it will be canceled in the event of inclement weather.

Funding for this youth program is made possible by the Nancy Hansen Memorial and the mobile sensory table was funded by the AnnMarie Foundation.

If you are interested in supporting this program as a volunteer, please visit the Friends volunteer management website at https://pointapp.org/orgs/6531 to sign up for a date when you are available. Volunteers for this program will also need to complete a Library Volunteer Application which will include a background check. Simply ask for this volunteer application at the Library's service desk on your next visit to the library.
