At the risk of narrowing the field of potential readers of this column dramatically after just two sentences, I'm going to tell you exactly what kind of volunteers the is looking for.

Pianists and an upholsterer. Seriously.

For the musically talented Patch users who are hanging with this column, the folks at the library need people to play 5-15 minutes of piano at their annual holiday cooking and bake sale from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3.

Children, teens and adults are welcome to play holiday or secular music on the library's Baldwin baby grand piano.

This event is an informal, relaxed atmosphere and you will have an opportunity to schedule a time to practice beforehand.

Tickling the ivory not for you? How are you with needle and thread?

The library is also looking for an upholsterer to help reupholster one of its double sofa. A library news release said, "We have the fabric, but not the skill!"

For more information about either volunteer opportunity, contact Library Director Sheila O’Brien at 414-321-9595 Ext. 211 or SheilaO@greenfieldwi.us.

Finally, artist William Holaday will have a selection of mixed media paintings on display through Nov. 18, in the second floor mezzanine area of the library.

A painter for more than 40 years, Holaday's works include subject matter that ranges from abstract to landscape in various media, to include charcoal, ink, watercolor, pastel, oil, acrylic and collage. His paintings have won numerous awards and are on display in private and museum collections across the United States.
