Volunteer Opportunities--

Adopt a shelf--Strike a blow against Chaos!

What Is Adopt-A-Shelf?

  • Well, it's really adopt-a-section.  Each section can take up to 60 minutes depending on the section adopted--once organized, you may find you are spending less time. You may, of course, adopt more than one section if you wish
  • We ask that you come approximately every 2 weeks at your convenience. We are very flexible--just come in whenever we are open. 
  • Going on vacation? NO PROBLEM-- please let us know ahead of time.

What do we expect of our Adopt-a-shelf volunteers: 

  • Maintain your section by keeping it in numerical and alphabetical order.
  • It is important to record each visit in the Adopt-A-Shelf chart--one is in our main work room, the other is in the Children's Librarian's office. We'll be sure you are trained before we let you loose!

This is a wonderful way to make a meaningful contribution to the library, even if your time is limited....

  • Make it a family project to keep part of the library looking great--this is great for families with kids who are middle school aged or older
  • Working people with limited time can make an important contribution

Interested? Send us an email or call us at 363-2818
