VOLUNTEER WITH FOSEL

“The question is whether or not you choose to disturb the world around you, or if you choose to let it go on as if you had never arrived.”   — Ann Patchett

Are you a civic-minded, book-loving person looking for ways to give back to the neighborhood?  Whether you have lots of extra time on your hands or only an occasional free hour, FOSEL welcomes any support you can provide to make our Library, its Park, and our programs successful.  We offer a range of volunteering options from setting up for fun events like summer concerts, preparing for fund drives, working in the park’s garden, and more.  This is a great opportunity to meet people and gain experience, while making a meaningful impact on our community.  

If you would like to volunteer with FOSEL, please contact us at info@friendsofsouthendlibrary.org, and let us know what your areas of interest are.

Examples of some of the ways our volunteers contributed to our efforts in the past have included:
