VOLUNTEERS
FRIENDS of DFL

Volunteer service -family, friends and neighbors working together- is essential to the life of the community and the operation of the Library.

Activities include serving as a trustee, assisting with crafts or reading for children, planting and maintaining the garden, preparing displays, shelving books, managing periodicals, etc.  Nancie McLean, library assistant, coordinates the Volunteering Program.

Our first website was designed and launched in 2005 by a VOLUNTEER using Quark XPress.  It was re-created in 2011 with Dreamweaver.  If you can assist in developing, updating or improving this site, please volunteer....  Speak to Nancie or John.

The Friends of the Dover Free Library is a non-profit organization established in 2006. 

Since 2006, the Friends have undertaken many projects and fund-raising events:  Valentine Basket raffle (February); Easter Basket raffle (April); Gardening Lecture Series (March-October); Dessert Social & Guest Author (August); Book Sale at Dover Day (September); Display & Auction of decorated holiday wreaths and Christmas trees (November/December).
