We are looking for people who know and understand how important a supporting friends group is to our library and want to encourage others to be a part of this support group.  Our membership committee looks at ways of building our numbers, retaining them and engaging them in activities that support the library and let our members have a good time.  It can be letter writing, envelope stuffing,  making phone calls, entering information into our databases and look at way to attract new audiences we haven't reach yet.  If you are interested in membership, contact us and let us know you are interested in Membership.

COMMUNICATIONS

Think about helping with some of this projects- Facebook postings, newsletter articles, website articles, email blasts and postings.  We have so many ways to reach our membership.  We also have so much to promote, including our events, being a BookMark, our BookMarket and the many programs the library offers.   If you are interested in communications, contact us and let us know you are interested in Communications.

Leadership

Are you interested in building a strong, vibrant organization?  Do you love the Marion Public Library and want to help support its programs and services?  Then think about becoming a BookMarks board member. When opportunities open on the board we look to those people who are involved in our organizations and committees to build our strong leadership.  Consider being part of our committees, chair one or submitting your name for a possible board position by contacting us. 

EVENTS

We are looking for people with ideas, who want to help set up, tear down, work with caterers.  We want to have fun, creative events that engage our members and potential members.  For example we have recently hosted a murder mystery.  We needed volunteers to be actors, to get a caterer and work with them, create table decorations, and finally to set up the tables and tear them down.  This is just one type of event and we are looking for ideas for events.  If you are interested in events, contact us and let us know you are interested in Events.

Do you like to help organize groups of people to tackle a project?  The Volunteer committee looks at coordinating our efforts and focusing our small but growing volunteer corp to tackle different projects.  We even use free software - Doodle-to help with our scheduling of our helping hands.  We need people to keep our corp's paperwork completed, track their hours and fill other committees' volunteer requests with potential volunteers.  If you are interested in volunteers, contact us and let us know you are interested in Volunteers.
