Volunteer to Sort Donations and Work the Sales
Volunteers are needed to sort books and materials for the sales and to work at the sales. At the sorting sessions, volunteers look through the donated items we’ve recently received and sort them by categories. Sorting is done on the 3rd floor of the library.
Beginning May 1, 2018 our sorting schedule is as follows:
• Mondays from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
• Tuesdays from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
• Thursdays from 10:00 am – noon
You don’t need to RSVP for sorting sessions—just come when you can and stay as long as you like.
If you have never sorted books for the sale, we’ll train you during your first sorting session.

The dues, along with all the money raised throughout the year, go directly to benefit the library. Current Friends members are asked to renew their memberships each May. A renewal letter is sent in April. For more information about the Friends please contact the President, Hope Grant.
