(A) Library Staff Connection: Sewing Machines 101 with DIY Potholders

THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO LIBRARY EMPLOYEES ONLY.

Calling all library staff of South Jersey/surrounding areas! Have you ever wanted to learn to use a sewing machine but didn’t know where to start? Come and join us at the Bellmawr library for a night of learning to use a sewing machine (and making a functional potholder!), learning how to have your own sewing program, and connecting with other library employees! All materials (including sewing machines) are provided. Because space and supplies are limited, registration is required for this program. Registration is open now and will close on Monday 11/30 at 9:00 P.M. or whenever the registration list becomes full, whichever occurs first.

Note: This program is open to library staff only. Library staff can be from any library, whether that be within the Camden County Library System or outside the system (heck, even outside the state if you want to come on by!)! The aim of this program is to foster community for library staff while building new skills!

Accessibility info: The library is located all on one floor. There are no steps to enter the building, and the front doors to the building are automatic. The doors into the library portion of the building can be opened with an accessible button.

(Y) A Call for Teen Volunteers: Holiday Card Making for Nursing Homes and senior Care Centers

Looking to earn volunteer hours for school requirements while making a positive impact in your community? Join us for an evening of creativity and kindness!

Teens ages 14–17 are invited to create handmade cards that our librarians will distribute throughout the community. If you enjoy drawing, coloring, lettering, crafting, or writing uplifting messages, this volunteer opportunity is for you.

No artistic experience is necessary. We'll provide inspiration, supplies, and guidance to help you get started. If you're an experienced artist, feel free to bring your favorite markers, colored pencils, or other drawing supplies.

This is also a great chance to meet new friends, connect with classmates, and spend an evening spreading encouragement to others.

Volunteer Information

Please arrive by 6:30 PM and plan to stay until 8:30 PM.

We will meet in the Youth Services Meeting Room on the first floor of the library.

Volunteer hours will be awarded for participation.

Forms for Eastern Regional High School volunteer requirements will be available. If you attend another school and require volunteer verification, please bring any necessary paperwork with you.

Registration Required

Do not use your school email address to register.

Volunteer opportunities are in high demand. Participants who register but do not attend without notice may be restricted from future volunteer events.

A librarian will contact registered participants by email the day before the event to confirm their volunteer commitment.

We look forward to creating with you and sharing a little kindness throughout our community! ✨
