SEEKING VOLUNTEERS 

​

The Friends Book Store in the old Fire Hall on Beebe St. is the principal fund-raising project of this organization. The donor and patron components of the bookstore fundraiser have been so successful that there is a real need for a few MORE VOLUNTEERS to help organize, sort, and shelve the books, cds, dvds, and other donated items.

Maintenance and operation of the store is a vital link to continuing this fundraiser, and we hope you will consider becoming part of the loyal group of volunteers who have already given so much time to presenting an organized and welcoming space for those who shop at our bookstore.

Stop by on any Friday or on the third Saturday of the month from 9am until Noon to visit or browse. Or, come on a Thursday (9am-noon) to work with a volunteer and decide if this volunteer activity is a good fit.
