About astonlibrary

Public Library serving Aston, Pennsylvania.

Adopt a Shelf at the Aston Public Library!

SortedShelvingCart8-10

You can help people find books at the library!

The Aston Public Library is always busy and our books see a lot of
use. If a book is misplaced, it can be lost for a long time.

In addition to putting books on the shelves, a Shelving volunteer is
responsible for straightening, organizing, and maintaining a
designated section of the library.

YOU can make it possible for library patrons to find the books they
are looking for.

Requirements:

1. Detail/order oriented

2. Ability to work independently

3. Experience with filing

4. Be able to commit at least 5 hours a week, and do a basic training

5. Be an adult or teen age 15 years old and older with parental permission
