Volunteer

We have a dedicated team of volunteers but are always looking for good people to help. Volunteer options include: staffing a regular shift at the Reading Centre (usually one 3-hour shift per month); working occasionally as a “spare” to cover absences; behind-the-scenes work processing new books etc., and serving on the Board. Several of the options offer a very flexible commitment. Training is provided. For more information speak to the volunteer on duty, or visit our contact page and we will be in touch.

Donate Books

We appreciate all donations of reading materials that may be dropped off during Reading Centre hours (Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, 11 am-2 pm and Thursday, Friday, 11 am to 5 pm). Donated materials may be accepted into our collection or put on our “for sale” shelves. If your donations do not meet our criteria, please consider the Bargain Barn. Gibsons Recycling Depot also accepts hardbound and paperback books but not spiral-bound books.

For the donation of materials, the following criteria apply:

The material must be in very good condition and less than five years old
For books, we prefer popular fiction and nonfiction in hardcover, mass-market and trade paperbacks
Any other material, including magazines, computer books, textbooks, encyclopedias and multilingual material will not be accepted because they do not fit our collection criteria and would have to be disposed of by Reading Centre volunteers.
