The Bookmark Needs Your (Volunteer) Help

Our volunteers do a variety of chores during their three hour-per-week shifts, such as: receiving, unpacking and pricing donations; shelving new books and culling old stock; keeping certain areas alphabetized; general upkeep, and most importantly – ringing up sales. One of the best parts of the job is simply chatting with our customers and other staffers about books, books, books!

The next time you’re in the store shopping, take a few minutes to talk with our volunteers and see first-hand what they do. We are all very proud to be a part of the Bookmark’s operation.
