Do you have experience working in a bookstore or a small business?
The Friends are seeking several people willing to serve as Co-Chairpersons for the 6 Book Sales held each year in the Lacey Library Meeting Room. You will train and schedule volunteers, manage the inventory and generally oversee the setup and takedown of a Friday/Saturday sale.
On a smaller scale but more frequent basis, you would train volunteers to stock and straighten the in-house Bargain Books Sale and Lobby Cart Sale. Shelves are stocked and straightened daily by a team of volunteers, each working one morning per week.
Donations are sorted and priced at the Monday morning book sort with a dedicated team of Friends, who volunteer weekly just to sort. As a Book Sale Manager you would also have an active role training people for the sort.
Two or three Book Sale Managers will work together to divide the tasks according to their individual schedules so that everything works smoothly. As a Chairperson, you would also attend several of the 6 board meetings per year, divided according to your personal schedules, which occur every other month. As they say, “Many hands make light work!”
Interested? Leave your contact info at the Lacey Library Circulation Desk and a Friends board member will be in touch. We look forward to meeting you!
