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
