Book Lovers Wanted!

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 contact the BookCellar Manager at fosaplbkclrmanager@gmail.com.
