News release CBPL.  The Coos Bay Library’s first volunteer fair was such a successful event that we are going to do an even bigger better one! We are excited to invite you to participate in the next fair, hosted by the Coos Bay Public Library but held offsite.  The Volunteer Fair will be on Saturday, July 29th, from 1:00-4:00pm at the Pony Village Mall in the North Bend. Volunteering within the community has many benefits such as meeting new people, learning new skills and improving your resume, all while helping others.  To further enhance the fair, the Library is partnering with CASA to offer a raffle for attendees. This volunteer fair will be an excellent opportunity to make connections with local organizations looking for volunteers. Anyone who is looking to become more involved in the community or looking for an opportunity to learn new skills is encouraged to attend. This is a FREE event for both the organizations and the potential volunteers. An important note that organizations that would like to have a booth at the fair need to RSVP ahead of time but individuals looking for an opportunity will not. This Volunteer Fair is made possible by a partnership between Coos Bay Public Library and AmeriCorps. Please call 269-1101 for further information.
