Volunteer Page - Civic Center

The Civic Center Library is looking for new volunteers to assist the library in the paging department. The library is looking for volunteers who can sort, shelf, and file materials accurately based on putting materials in accurate order by alphabet or numbers. Paging volunteers often are pushing carts that can weigh up to 50 pounds, and are often doing repetitive tasks including standing and bending.

Volunteers in this role would be expected to commit to volunteering for a minimum of six months, and be available at least once a week for a two-hour shift.

If you are interested in volunteering in this capacity, please contact Ray Ceo Jr., Supervisor of Volunteers at [email protected].
