Depending on the day, hours for the Golden Springs store vary between 10 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday, and hours for the Library store vary between 10 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday. Shifts run from 3 to 4 hours, and we request that volunteers commit to weekly or biweekly shifts.
This is a great way to meet new people as well as being rewarding for anyone who loves reading and books! It is a perfect opportunity for senior citizens, part-time workers, freelancers, telecommuters and stay at home parents.
