If you've ever been to one of Jefferson County Library Foundation's massive Whale of a Used Book sales at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds you know--there are a lot of books! But before those books make into the hands of thousands of book lovers, they all must be assessed, sorted and boxed. That's what we do at the warehouse, and that's where you can help!
Every weekday we need up to 6 volunteers to help us go through thousands of books and assess their condition and general sell-ability for one of our book sales. Volunteers also box books, price books and research vintage books online.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who loves books. It also has the added benefit of supporting the programs of the Jefferson County Public Library by becoming an integral part of its fundraising efforts. Join us, and help us make our library even stronger!

Mission Statement
The Jefferson County Library Foundation’s mission is to support and enrich the capabilities, resources and services of the Jefferson County Public Library through fundraising and advocacy efforts that benefit our diverse community!
Description
Jefferson County Library Foundation (JCLF) provides critical support to Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL), expanding free programs and services to all Jefferson County residents. Through public outreach, advocacy and fundraising JCLF strengthens JCPL and promotes greater awareness of its valuable resources and services, helping JCPL ensure free and equal access to information and great literature to all Jeffco residents.
Our primary outreach activities include our Spring and Fall Whale of a Used Book Sale, at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. These 3-day sales attract more than 5,000 book-loving bargain-hunters, take about 200 volunteers to run and raise more than $70,000 for JCPL programs each sale.
Funds raised are allocated to important Jefferson County Public Library programs, such as Summer Reading, a crucial program that keeps school-aged children engaged in learning and away from the "summer slump," early literacy programs and Culture Pass, just to name a few.
