Looking for a Book Sale Coordinator

The Wells Branch Community Library is looking for an industrious, organized, committed person to manage and lead a one-day booksale for our community library. This person will work with staff to coordinate the planning, marketing, set-up, sale, and clean-up for this event.

This volunteer will recruit other volunteers to help work the sale, create and distribute advertisements, organize books for sale, etc. During the day of the sale, the Book Sale Coordinator will be managing volunteers and assigning them tasks. We're looking for an energetic, committed volunteer who can take the reins with organizing and planning the entire event.

Previous volunteer coordination experience helpful, but not required.

If you're interested -- whether you're a volunteer with us already or not -- please come by and talk to me (Allison) about it, or email me at allison at wblibrary dot org!

Volunteering Update

We had a great 2011 in volunteering! Over the year, volunteers gave us 2,717 hours of help! That made all kinds of things possible at the library -- from programs for kids and adults to inventory to making sure all the books get back on the shelves!

We're still accepting applications now if you're considering joining us!

We also have some upcoming programs we could use some extra hands for, if you're available. If you're interested, please email me at allison [at] wblibrary[dot]org!
