VOLUNTEER

We need volunteers! Please consider helping the Friends by volunteering for any of the following positions:

Bookstore Clerk

Bookstore clerks welcome and assist our customers, accept and sort
incoming books, arrange books on the shelves, work the cash register, promote Friends membership, and maintain the bookstore.

Sorter

Sorters help to prepare books for our semi-annual sales by separating them into categories, boxing them up, and taking the boxes to our storage room. It helps to have a strong back!

Pricer

Pricers research the prices of used books online in order to set the prices we charge in the bookstore and identify possible books for our online sales program. Familiarity with computers is a must.

Book Sale Helper

We need many people working together to put on our semi-annual book sales. Duties vary, but involve setting up the sale, working during the sale, and cleaning up afterward.

Email us at herc.library@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer.
