Volunteer With The Friends

Why Volunteer

With The Friends?

Because you like books and others who like books, because you want to work for literacy in the community, and because you will LOVE sorting books, working as many or as few hours as you choose.

Volunteer With Us

During The Sale

Our volunteers help us staff hundreds of shifts so we can put on two big Sales a year. During every Sale, we need "Greeters" to greet patrons and be sure they have boxes and maps of the Sale floor, "Pricers" to count patrons' books, "Cashiers" to accept patrons' payments, "Floaters" to restock shelves and help patrons navigate the Sale, and "Info Desk" gurus to answer patrons' questions.

During The Year

Our volunteers work year-round to bring you a Fall and Spring Sale. While we're accepting book donations, shift chairs staff our intake desk, rough sorters perform the magic of getting the books headed to the right subject areas, and category sorters decide how to organize their sections.

Check out our Sorting Shift calendar.

(These are sorting hours only. For donation hours, see the Donations page.)
