BookCellar Volunteers Needed
The BookCellar is in need of volunteers! If you love books, magazines, movies, music and meeting new people, the BookCellar may be the perfect place for you. We are short staffed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays (p.m. shift), Fridays and Sundays.
 
Does this sound good, but you’re still not convinced?  That’s okay. Come volunteer for one shift and try it out. We are grateful for all our volunteers and we’d love to add to our family. Come visit us in the basement of the Central Library, or call us at 210-227-9519.
​
Hope to see you soon!
