People willing to work Friday and weekend mornings are especially appreciated and almost always needed. Training provided.
• Reserve Requests Volunteer: Weekly 1-2 hour commitment. Processing the paging slips (customer reserve requests) is like doing a scavenger hunt around the library. When patrons put items on hold that are on the shelves at our library, someone must pull these items for the requesting patrons.
