Volunteer at the Big Book Sale! Volunteers who help at this event receive one book for every hour they work. What a great way to build your personal library.

Books, books, and more books. We need help sorting and categorizing books from October 2 to October 8. From October 9 through the afternoon of October 12 we need help moving books and setting them up for our Big Book Sale.

Your reward for this assistance? Book lovers can earn one book for every two-hour shift they work! Your team can build their personal libraries or pool their books and donate them to the charity of your choice.

If you have a team who wants to help with this fun project, contact Volunteer Services at 614-849-1055 and tell us the hours you would like to work. You can start as early as 9 a.m., and end as late as 7 p.m.
