Friends of the Mill Valley Library Has a Volunteer Opportunity for Enthusiastic Volunteers to Lend a Hand in the Friends Bookstore
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.
