The Mill Valley Public Library has long been a local treasure. It’s also, obviously, a home for thousands of books to borrow.
In addition to that massive catalogue, the Friends of the Mill Valley Library, one of the two major supporters of the library, host regular In-Person Book Sales.
The Friends of the Library are looking for a couple of enthusiastic volunteers to lend a hand in the Friends Bookstore.
The task involves carefully packing overstocked books into sturdy bankers boxes, loading them onto a cart (each box weighs around 30 pounds), transferring the packed boxes to another location in the Bookstore, and then stacking them neatly.
This should take about 1 to 2 hours, 1 or 2 days a week. If you’re interested, reach out to Friends board member Jim Derich at jim.derich@friendsmvl.org.
The Friends of the Mill Valley Library and the Mill Valley Library Foundation operate with the same goals in mind but do so in very different ways. As we’ve reported widely in recent years, the Mill Valley Library Foundation is a powerhouse, announcing in 2019 a unique public-private partnership between the foundation and City of Mill Valley allowing the foundation’s board to reach a capital base sufficient to initiate an endowment starting at $2.3 million.
While the foundation has historically coalesced around large projects like the endowment, the Friends have a similar but distinct mission. The Friends is a membership organization that focuses more on the day-to-day.
