Love Books! - Help Revitalize an Underfunded School Library

Join us in preparing more than 1,200 new books for TK–5th grade students at Galarza Elementary School in San Jose!

Volunteers with excellent fine motor skills, attention to detail, and a love of organization are needed to help sort and process library books at our next school library project in San Jose. Book processing involves stamping, adhering bar code labels, alphabetizing, covering the books with mylar covers, organizing the books, and shelving the books.

A casual pizza lunch will be provided around 11:30am for those without dietary restrictions.

This volunteer opportunity is for adults only. Each person volunteering must be signed up individually.
