Help Your Community
Adult volunteer opportunities
Be an Essa Library Friend (ELF!) to help with our 2026 Fundraising efforts.
We are seeking ELFs to help with Family Fun Night in August – do you know someone who would sponsor an Ice Cream Truck?! – a sponsor for Trivia Night prizes in September, and to help find items for our annual Silent Auction on October 22nd. Carol Cryer, Vice-Chair of the Library Board, leads these efforts and extra hands are most welcome.
Contact Laura Wark, CEO: ceo@essalibrary.ca if you want to make this year at the library extra special.
See the Terms of Reference for Essa Library Friends for more details.
