 • Floor Attendant
 • Welcome Attendant
 • Tally Attendant
 • Membership Services and Sign Up

Physical Limitations: Most duties entail physical activity, including lifting and unpacking boxes of books. If you want to volunteer, but you have physical limitations please email Rose at rose@friendsofhpl.org and she will work to place you in a position that works for you.

Volunteer Perks!: Volunteers will be provided water and snacks, and get to take home 1 book for every 2 hours of service.

Attire: Please wear close-toed shoes and comfortable attire, our book sales are a fun and active way to get involved with the community. Enthusiasm and high-fives welcome!
