Calling All Volunteers!

We all know how wonderful the JeffCo Library Foundation is, but maybe you’ve been wondering how you can give back. This post is a roundup of the best ways to give back to the Foundation and steps you can put into action. As always, we thank you for your support!

Donate Your Time

volunteers

Our volunteers make such a difference in what we do, how we do it, and how well we do it, that their contributions are truly invaluable.

Last year, volunteers logged over 12,000 hours of service in support of Jefferson County Library Foundation events. We have volunteers who work regular shifts at the Foundation office, donation areas in libraries, and at the Used Book and Gift Shop, and we have many who donate their time for one or more shifts at book sales.

If you are interested in volunteering at the Belmar Gift & Book Shop, please contact [email protected] or call 303-403-5079.

If you are interested in volunteering in our donation warehouse, please contact [email protected] or call 303-403-5076.

If you would like to volunteer for the Fall 2019 Whale Sale, please contact [email protected] or call 303-403-5074.

The novels have received wide recognition. They have been on the bestseller lists of numerous newspapers, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News. Five novels have received the Colorado Book Award.
