Community Service Opportunities

It's the third Sunday of the month again - which means Book Sorting for the Friends of the Library book sale! 

Join us this Sunday 4/17 from 1-3 in the Couper Room (come to the back of the library) to help categorize books and stow them in the trailer - this will be the last sorting before our sale on May-14.

Another great way to help the Friends out - and get those last minute community service hours - is to come to the Transfer Station during April to help sort the returnable bottles into bags and boxes. Find shifts here http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4ca4ab2fa3fa7-cans

Pack for a Purpose is a charity in Turks and Caicos that gives school supplies to the needy children. The Humanitarian club is collecting school supplies, particularly pencils, markers, rulers, portable sharpeners, etc. Items can be new or gently used. We are also looking for donations to pay for the suitcases to hold the supplies. Supplies are needed by April 14^th and can be dropped off in the main office at LHS.

Book sorters and Friends, here is an additional opportunity to help out the Friends of the Reuben Hoar Library!

During the month of April, all the returnable cans and bottles that are brought to the Littleton Transfer Station will be sorted and stored by volunteers from the Friends of the Library. The Friends will receive all the money from the deposits on the cans and bottles.
Help is needed to sort the cans and bottles and stow them in the trailer at the transfer station. You do not have to be there for the entire shift as long as things are not piling up during busy times.

See the shifts and sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4ca4ab2fa3fa7-cans

Please note that this can be used for community service, but the transfer station required that an adult be present.

Help is also needed to transport the cans and bottles to the redemption center. If you'd like to help with that or for more details, contact Mark or Sarah Rambacher at 978-952-6211.
