Volunteer with the Friends
Friends members generously volunteer by:
- Shelving and straightening materials at our bookstore Friends Books on Main
- Sorting donated books and materials
- Assisting with online sales
To volunteer, you must be a Friends member. Members are only contacted to help if they have indicated an interest in volunteering. We don’t always have volunteer positions available, and will add you to our potential volunteer list if that is the case.
Send your volunteer request and contact information to contact@yclibraryfriends.org.
