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!
BOOK LOVERS WANTED
The BookCellar Used Book Store needs people who love books and want to help others find new favorites. The volunteer job description includes shelving books, tidying shelves, assisting customers, looking up Dewey system numbers, filling displays, and (after training) operating the register. Your work will help raise funds to support the San Antonio Public Library! For more information, or to volunteer, please go to our Volunteer Match page at https://www.volunteermatch.org/search/opp2459103.jsp.
