​

your tasks include: removing labels from used books; applying donor & GL labels; adding “classification” labels to book bindings, plus filling tote bags with requested replacement books

typical schedule: Saturday or Sunday afternoon for 3 hours 

location: Ballard office at 5004 6th Avenue NW (not ADA accessible)

requirements: Ability to focus and do simple manual tasks without supervision; interest in the subject matter of books in order to add appropriate classification labels. Teen welcome.

​

refreshments: We provide coffee, tea, treats + music!

build your own group: We invite you to recruit a group of your friends to make up a work party. The ideal number of volunteers is 6.
