Opportunities From: Volunteer Portal | City of Hillsboro

Help pack up the unsold merchandise that is going to a book wholesaler.  Must be able to stand, lift, reach, bend, grasp, and understand the packing protocol (it will be explained).  Must be physically able to lift, stand, reach, push, pull, bend, twist, and navigate in sometimes crowded floor conditions.  

After the book sales are over, there are always left over items that didn't sell.  Volunteers will help remove items from shelves, box up any that will be returned to storage, or prepare items that will be discarded or donated for their final destination.  You'll help break down the wire shelving, remove signs, tape from tables, and generally get the sales room ready for the movers to come in and take away the hardware.  Physically demanding job, lots of bending, reaching, twisting, turning, standing, some lifting.  Should be agile enough to navigate crowded walkways, and cluttered areas. 

Help shoppers find the perfect item as a customer service associate at one of the largest used book sales in the region.  Be part of this epic fundraiser, as the Friends of the Library sell thousands of books and other media to eager shoppers.  You'll help people find what they are looking for, you'll help restock shelves, you'll help shoppers put their armloads of purchases in the hold area!  Bring your best customer service skills, your love of books, and your ability to be on your feet for at least a two hour shift to volunteer for this event!  If you have not volunteered with the Friends, the Friends Book Sale or the Hillsboro Public Library before (or within the last three years), you are welcome to volunteer, but will be required to attend a one-hour orientation prior to the beginning of the sale period, to be arranged.
