    Description

    Home Library Services Delivery Helper

    Outreach Services does not look like any Dayton Metro Library because it is not actually a public library. It is located in our DML Operations Center downtown. The address and directions will be emailed to volunteers matched with this assignment. The schedule rotates as two weeks of delivery and then one week off. The ideal volunteer can ride as the passenger with staff at least one morning those weeks of deliveries. This is a very active and physical role requiring lifting, carrying, walking, climbing steps, etc.

    ESSENTIAL DUTIES:

    1. Provides courteous, welcoming and prompt service to library patrons when delivering items.
    2. Assists Library staff in loading and unloading delivery bags.
    3. Provides basic information about the library regarding upcoming programs and services, when asked.
    4. Refers patrons to library staff as needed.
    5. Performs other volunteer duties as assigned.
