We need more volunteers willing to give of their time and talent. If you are interested and would like more information, call 677-7672.

Open Volunteer Positions:

Refreshment Helpers--It is once a month, with July and August off. Also, it would help if the members supplying food for that meeting would come early and set up and stay to clean up. If everyone takes his/her turn at this it won’t be so much work for the same people who do it each month. We have some wonderful cooks who bring their specialties and this makes for a great social time.

Bookstores—You pick the hours you want to work and at which store.

Ways and Means—Need new, fresh ideas to raise money to support Library programs.

Volunteer Pool List—Willing to be available when projects come up. Call Carol Van Dorn—461-2381.

What Do We Do?

The Friends of the Murrieta Library exists to support and assist the Murrieta Public Library. One of the ways we do this is by volunteering at the Library. You can find us helping by:

Shelving books
Assisting with the processing of passport applications
Working on projects in the Heritage Room
Taking books to the home-confined through Book Express
Volunteering to read to local HeadStart classes twice a month during the school year, and purchasing new children's books which are distributed through HeadStart to preschool children in December.

We also raise funds for the Library through:

Murrieta Birthday Bash book sales
City Block Party book sales
Internet book sales. All profits go the Library.
Friends of the Murrieta Library Bookstores, totally staffed by volunteers, are an ongoing fundraising project. All books for sale are donated and all profits from both stores are donated to the Library.
