Makara Center for the Arts is a nonprofit library & art center in Santa Ana. One of our primary programs is a lending library with over 1,400 books and periodicals focused on global arts & culture. We are so grateful for the generous donations we receive to our library, and we need some keeping up! Volunteers will sort donations to prepare for processing, scan barcodes, input basic cataloging data using LibraryThing and GoodReads, and help organize library stacks.
Additional opportunities to develop and support special programs and weekend activities.
Volunteer do not need to have library experience, but an enthusiastic interest in books is a MUST! Volunteers will need to recognize and differentiate between genres (poetry, fiction, memoir, nonfiction, graphic novel) and general age-range (children's, middle grade, young adult, adult).
Makara is open Wednesday - Saturday.
