Volunteers Needed for the LMC!
The LMC is looking for a few volunteers for the Shelving Team. The Shelving Team helps reshelve all the books our amazing readers have checked out. No experience necessary, but if you know your way around the Dewey Decimal system, this is the job for you!
Our ideal shelver:
- can help at 1:15 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. If that time doesn't work for you, we can work it out.
- can commit to a regular schedule. That can be weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
- is detail oriented and loves things neat and tidy.
