Library Volunteer - Now and Ongoing
Parent volunteers are needed for the library to help with check-out, re-shelving, processing or repairing! We have 4-5 classes per day checking out books and over 200 books each day that need checked-in and re-shelved. We also have books that need repaired or processed to be put on the shelves. If you can help for 1-2 hours each week, please consider helping out in the library. We especially need assistance at 9-10:30am and 1-2:30pm, when students are using the library. Some training is involved, but once you are trained you can come at different times each week, or come every other week. Some parents come during their child's library time, which allows them to see their child's classmates and volunteer when students are checking out books. If you can help, please notify Karen Mackie, the librarian, at karen.mackie@bvsd.org .
