Current Volunteer Opportunities

2024 Bookmark Move Mockup.png
Bookmark Bookstore Volunteers Needed

We're seeking volunteers to assist with projects relating to the move-in to our recently relocated bookstore at 933 Broadway in Old Oakland. Primarily, we need volunteers who are comfortable lifting and moving heavy items such as boxes of books. Secondarily, we need volunteers to help organize shelves, sort donations, and take regular shifts during open store hours. Please complete the Bookmark Volunteer Form and one of our store managers will be in touch.

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer at The Bookmark Bookstore

The Bookmark is owned and operated by the Friends of the OPL. We have a store manager and 50+ volunteers. Bookstore volunteers perform a variety of tasks during their three hour/week shifts.

Join the Friends Board

We are interested in recruiting more Directors from underrepresented groups and community members with connections that will knit us together.

For more information about serving on the Board, please see our flyer. To apply to serve on the Board, please complete our Board of Directors Interest Form.

Oakland Public Libraries have volunteer opportunities for adults and teens.
