Volunteer Information
Volunteer and shop early!
Those who work a minimum of four hours will be eligible to shop early.
**Volunteers will be able to shop on Monday evening from 4:30pm-6pm
and 9:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday,
this is 1/2 an hour before doors open to the public.
Please do not volunteer for times you want to be shopping.**
**Volunteers working until finish (finish of sorting not finish of the sale) on Wednesday will be allowed to take their books home that day, but will need to leave a self-addressed, stamped envelope for payment or come back Thursday morning to get your money**
** Cashiers slots on Tuesday are 5 hours not 4, this extra hour means 3 less volunteers needed**
A number of volunteers are necessary to make the sale work.
In the comments section, please let me know if there is a particular area you would or would not feel comfortable helping with.
Workers may be asked to:
Drop off Day: Set up the room, help check-in sellers, put out and organize books prior to the sale, help sellers unload their vehicles, other various tasks. This is a great time for teens to volunteer.
Sale day Tuesday: Watch the door, help with returning unsold items to correct tables during the sale, cut tags, re-sort unsold materials after the sale, help customers, sort tickets from sold items, and other various tasks.
Cashiers: check out shoppers using a calculating machine, you are scheduled for a 1/2 hour after the sale closes but will be done as soon as the line is done.
Sale day Wednesday: The first hour is the sale, all the same items as above, once the sale is closed we will sort all the books by seller numbers. You will be done as soon as the books are sorted and checked, so it may be shorter than 4 hours. If you are selling you can take your books home when we are done. Wednesday is a great time for teen volunteers.
Pick up Day: Help sellers at pick up time. Clean up and reset the room. This is a good time to volunteer with your kids, as long as they are strong enough to help carry boxes and can move chairs and follow directions.
Shifts will be deleted from drop-down menu when full.
Times are first come first choice. Thank you!
If you are selling books and are volunteering on Monday just bring your books when you come. When registering to sell check "Volunteer time slot" for drop off. If you are not volunteering on Monday but coming for early shopping, when registering to sell check "Volunteer time slot" and just remember you must put books out before you can shop at 4:30.
If you have already registered to sell and have put a different time just let Kathy know you are a volunteer and will bring books then.
