Volunteer at the Library

Volunteer to assist Library Staff – Cutbacks in County funding have left fewer paid staff members working each shift.  Volunteers would help in:

a.     Preparing materials for Storytime

b.     Assisting the Summer Reading Program – a good option for students!

c.     Sorting books

d.     Shelving of specific library materials

e.     Book Cleaning

f.      Assisting with various tasks to support the librarians

Volunteers must fill out a county volunteer application and those over 18 must be fingerprinted with the Live Scan service.   Students, if you are interested in a summer volunteer opportunity, staff has the greatest need for the Summer Reading Program.  For more information about assisting library staff, call (909) 621-4902 and ask for Susan Hall, Volunteer Coordinator.

Volunteer to help the Friends with the Bookstore and Book Sales –

The Friends of the Claremont Library needs help in their Bookstore and with their Book sales which are their primary fundraisers.  Used books are donated by supporters year-round and there is a bookstore at the library that is open whenever the library is open.  In addition, there is a semi-annual book sale that is held in the meeting room of the library.  You determine how many hours you want to work and your schedule.  Help is needed year-round in:

a.     Helping to sort donated books

b.     Putting books out in the book store

c.     Looking up book values on the computer

Twice a year, help is needed to prepare for the book sales.  If you would like to give us your name and contact information, we can contact you to see if you are available when we have book sales.  Volunteers would help with any of the following:

a.     Moving boxes

b.     Setting out books for the sale or packing up after

c.     Working during the sale as cashier or monitor

For more information about helping with the Book Sales, please call Barbara Musselman at   909-596-1760 or email us at friendsofclaremontlibrary@gmail.com.
