FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
The WCC Library is a collaboration of staff, volunteers and users who together collect and document the resources and collections held by the library. Without these partnerships the WCC Library would not be the phenomenal resource that it is.
Most people who walk through the doors of the Woodland Cultural Centre Library become lifelong friends who come back to volunteer, donate a book or two, or just say hello and catch up on what’s new. To volunteer, please click here to fill out a form.
PLACEMENTS
Each summer the WCC Library receives grants from organizations like G.R.E.A.T. and NPAAMB to hire summer students. Students are involved in all aspects of library work including jacketing books with laminate and processing books from start to finish. Many also have the opportunity to assist researchers to find materials and participate in WCC programs.
RESEARCHERS
Most researchers at the WCC Library want to give back both as a thank you for assistance with their research and to help expand the library collections for future users. In addition to donating a copy of their thesis, many students donate copies of the books, journal articles and other research they have come across elsewhere to enhance the WCC collections.
