Book Sales
Book sales occur three times a year in April, September, and December with staffing required from Thursday through Sunday for each sale. Volunteers are needed for set up, staffing during the sale, and take down afterwards. Jobs vary from heavy lifting (getting boxes onto hand trucks and distributed to lobby sales rooms) to light duties like cashiering or counting books for customers as they prepare to check out. More information on specific volunteer opportunities and a work shift schedule are sent out to volunteers for sign up prior to each book sale.

Sorting Room
Volunteers are needed for several hours each week to unpack, sort and box donated books for the book sale. Donations must be unpacked and arranged for scanning and sorting, sorted and shelved by category, and boxed for the Book Sale. The ability to lift boxes of books is a plus.

Events
Events are planned throughout the year to increase the visibility of Friends of Chapel Hill Public Library and to promote membership. These events include the April and December Book Sale Sip & Shop evenings, the Fall Raffle and the Free Summer Raffle for Children. Volunteers are needed to plan, organize and staff events throughout the year.

Communications / Publicity
Volunteers are periodically needed to prepare or review online and other communications, press releases and promotional materials. Basic writing and computer skills are required and computer graphics skills are a plus.
