NEEDED! Treasure Day Volunteers

Posted on by

Are you a high schooler in need of service hours?  We have an easy project for you that would be a great service to the Riverton Free Library.

This Saturday, May 11th is the town-wide Treasure Day, and the library needs help with its book sale.  Can you spare an hour or two to help sell our book donations?  We need volunteers from 8 AM until we close at 3 PM, as well as help to return unsold books to the library basement at 3 PM.

If you can help, please contact the library either at our new volunteer email address, rivertonfreelibraryvolunteer@gmail.com or by calling the library’s phone number, 829-2476.  Be sure to leave your name, phone number, and hours that you can work.  Bring a friend to help, too, and make it a fun day!

Thank you!
