The Freeman Bookstore is staffed entirely by volunteers in support of Freeman Library. The store regularly needs new volunteers.
The principal duties are selling, straightening, & shelving books. Volunteers must also be able to learn Square point-of-sale technology. Shifts are 2-½ hours Monday through Saturday. Most shifts are currently staffed by incumbent volunteers, & the remainder are on a substitute list. Substitutes normally have ample opportunities to work when open shifts occur.
Good match for people who enjoy books &/or who have experience working in a book store or library. Sales experience is a plus.
Should live within 5-7 miles of the Freeman Library.
The bookstore is located inside Freeman Library in Clear Lake at 16616 Diana Lane, near the intersection of Bay Area Blvd. & El Camino Real. We are the used bookstore operated & staffed by the Friends of Freeman Library, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to enhancing the Freeman Library through fundraising & advocacy efforts.
