Service Opportunities
We are so very grateful for all who have come and worked and served with us. If you would like to be involved in the ministry of the library, please consider the following possibilities. Feel free to contact us for further details.
We have many people come and serve and help for a few days to two weeks
or even a month. Following are various routine library tasks that are
possible:
|
We have also had people come for short periods of time and offer to help with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning and washing dishes, which has then freed us up to do some of the more complex tasks of ministry.
If you have technical and computer related skills please consider the following needs -- some of these would require longer time commitment but could also be done at a distance.
|
We also have needs helping with library program and activities so if for instance you have an interest in children’s ministry we are always looking for those who would like to serve as guest story tellers for our Saturday morning English-language story time.
The time is designed as an activity designed to share God’s love and encouraged people to visit the library with their kids. It involves reading books or telling stories related to a particular theme, perhaps singing some songs, and doing a related craft. If you are a retired librarian with professional skills and would like to help with cataloging of resources or other library development tasks, there are various needs and opportunities. |
Housing is available and can be provided for full-time short-term workers in our furnished guest flat directly above the library.
Please click here for photos. We are conveniently located near the center of the city and so it is also then possible to enjoy some of the sites and the beauty of the city. We would love to have you come and work with us -- for a couple days or weeks or perhaps longer!! |
In addition to the short term ministry opportunities, we are also looking for those who feel that God may be calling to come and work and serve with us in the ministry of the library on a longer term basis.
We have some specific needs including those interested in the following areas of service:
|
We would be looking for those who could ideally make a 3-5 year commitment but would also consider shorter time periods depending on availability. Please contact us for further information -- we would love to discuss, explore and pray about the possibilities with you.
We would welcome qualified candidates for internship at the library and especially those who may have a specific interest in exploring the possibilities for future involvements in development of ODL libraries in new locations.
For more information about internship or any of these possibilities please contact us. |
