Mission

• The Friends support an advocate for the library through volunteer work and fundraising efforts so that the library can provide high quality materials and services, educational programming, and special projects and equipment to the community.

​

Fundraising

• The Friends accepts cash donations, collects change and bills in the Library's Wishing Well, and organizes and hosts the annual Spring Festival and October Fundraiser.

Opportunities

• Krum Public Library welcomes volunteers to help with shelving, cleaning, and our programming.

• We encourage adults who want to volunteer regularly to join our Friends of the Library.

​

Adults & Teens

• Meet fellow library enthusiasts, acquire new skills, and give back to your community by volunteering! For teens, this is a great way to earn volunteer hours for NHS (or other school clubs) and learn skills that will translate well for job and college applications.

• Hours are available on a first-come, first-served basis; there is no minimum-hour requirement for volunteers.

• To volunteer, please bring a signed Volunteer Application and a signed Volunteer Conduct Agreement to the Library or email them to staff@krumlibrary.org.
   

Court-Ordered Community Service

• Court-ordered community service usually involves more difficult tasks such as dusting, cleaning windows, and library maintenance. The Director reserves the right to refuse volunteer hours for court-ordered community service.

• By policy, the Library does not take court-ordered community service workers with the following offense(s):

  • Sexual assault

  • Violent crimes

  • Grand theft

• To complete hours at the Library, please call us directly for more information at (940) 482-3455.

Take-a-Book

• The front lobby of the Library features multiple shelves with items that are free for the community to take home.

• We appreciate any value donations to the Friends in exchange for any materials taken home.
