We LOVE volunteers in the library! It's a great way to get to meet other parents and spend time on campus as little or as much as works for your schedule. We have some special events that need a lot of volunteers (see the Family Library Information Slideshow on the home page for event dates), we have some mornings in the library where adult help is appreciated, and we have some special projects from time to time (see below).
We want to make the Canyon Ridge Library the absolute best it can be for every student. To that end, we are always looking to create a variety of inviting activities and programs that appeal to lots of different learners. We serve over 1000 students and staff, so materials go quickly. Our Amazon wishlist is here, if you would like to support us that way.
Can you paint (and seal) a Little Free Library before it's installed outside on our campus? (It's already built.)
Do you know how to sew quilt squares together? We want students to personalize squares for our 20th anniversary - could you sew a top piece together for us?
Do you know how to play D&D
and would you be willing to support new learners in character creation and a very short game exercise on
Saturday, 1/11 at
Game-A-Palooza?
We need you!
Are you a Cricut expert?
Would you be interested in printing and weeding some student designs on our Cricut?
We need you!
We offer a variety of new, student-appealing prizes (crafts, spa-ish, games, stuffies, random fun items) as incentives for reading challenges - and we’ll have some small art and writing challenges this year, too.
We are always looking for new items!
We can never get enough shiny beads, clasps, earrings, and charms for our jewelry making stations.
Have you built a fairy cottage (about 12 x 12 x 18 inches) that would be a great example for a design contest? We need you!
Do you have a like-new Uno game or deck of cards taking up space at home? We can use them!
Do you have extra heat transfer Cricut vinyl in kid-appealing colors we could use to make t-shirts for clubs and activities?
We would love some!
Do you have a bunch of clean, flat river stones that would be great for painting kind things on and decorating our patio space?
We would love some!
We always need duct tape and washi tape in student-friendly colors for craft stations
We are looking for fabric in paintbox colors for students to personalize quilt squares.
(Including 10x10 inch fabric squares, but also other strips and pieces to create scenes and words)
We are looking for lots of giant coloring posters - our students love gathering around these in the mornings!
We would love Lego figures for stop motion videos and displays!
