The Indiana Free Library is accepting applications for several anticipated
summer
openings
on its dedicated
Volunteer Shelving team. This
is a great ongoing volunteer opportunity for those seeking community service
hours for scholarships or other collegiate needs. Volunteer
shelvers are responsible for shelving materials in the proper place in the
library, checking the shelves to ensure that they are in order, and
sorting carts of materials to be shelved. Training is provided.
Qualified
candidates for the volunteer shelver program will be:
- At
least 16 years of age; - Confident
with arranging English-language materials alphabetically and
numerically; - Able
to push and pull moderately heavy loads and to kneel, bend, climb, and stretch
frequently; - Detail-oriented,
precise, reliable, and responsible; - Able
to work independently; - Able
to obtain Criminal Record and Child Abuse History clearances (for U.S. citizens
at least 18 years of age; others may be required to submit
alternative documentation); - Willing
to commit to at least a full term (fall semester, spring semester,
or summer session) of volunteer service; and - Available
from 3 to 5 p.m. one or two days a week (excluding Fridays and
Sundays).
Applications
for the Volunteer Shelver Program are accepted on an ongoing basis and are
available at the library‘s circulation
desk.
Applications
are retained for six months, and candidates who meet the library‘s
needs will
be contacted as
openings arise. Successful shelvers may be asked to continue volunteering during
the fall and spring terms.
Your
continued support for the Indiana Free
Library is greatly appreciated.
