Volunteer
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH BOOKS. We invite anyone interested in promoting literacy to volunteer in a low-pressure environment, with flexible hours and no-deadline projects — there's a role whether you like customer-facing work or working solo.
Opportunities for everyone
Volunteers get first access to incoming books, with selection privileges increasing based on volunteer hours.
Play with the books
Unboxing and quality-checking, sorting, rearranging stacks, and photographing items for online posting — at our private, safe, semi-rural El Sobrante location, available 24/7 by arrangement.
Show off the muscles
Packing boxes, loading vans, unpacking, shelf rearrangement, and transport throughout West Contra Costa County and the Bay Area — often last-minute scheduled work.
Do the talking
Community outreach, staffing giveaway events, school connections, and social media — a mix of home-based and community work with flexible scheduling.
