VOLUNTEER at Book Corner

We are always looking for book-loving volunteers. People are needed in the store to help sort, price and shelve books. A few times a year we need lots of volunteers to help with our Big Book Sale and Fall Sidewalk Sale as well as other larger events. We can also use people to help with children's story times, author readings and other events that may take place. Tell us how you'd like to help and we'll find a way for you to take part. For more information on volunteering, email Kristin.
