- Sort the books when they come in
- Box by books type such as board books for toddlers, easy picture books, picture books, Step-into-Reading, easy chapter books & older chapter books.

The book storage is located at Ossining Open Door. The other health centers are located in Sleepy Hollow, Port Chester, Mt. Kisco and Brewster. Books for our Brewster location can be delivered there or left at our Port Chester site for a staff member to bring.
