Do you love books? Have you ever wanted to work in a bookstore or the library?

If so, why not volunteer at the Multnomah County Friends' Library Store?

Did I mention the perks are great...

* a free book of your choice for 4 shifts a month
* 10% discount in the store
* free Multnomah Friends of the Library membership after 75 volunteer hours
* working with a great group of people
* the wonderful feeling of knowing your efforts go towards strengthening and preserving the Multnomah County Library system
* the opportunity to work in the beautiful Central Library located in downtown Portland

As a volunteer clerk your primary duties are customer service and used book sales. All volunteers help to maintain the store through light housekeeping, merchandising and assisting with special projects as needed. We also expect you to promote memberships and special events organized by the Friends of the Library. We will provide you with the training and support that you need to be successful.

We would appreciate a 3 - 6 month commitment.

Everyone is encourage to apply! Retired people, book lovers, students interested in gaining experience to add to their resumes to volunteer. You'll get the opportunity to give and you'll have fun doing so!
