Description

Energetic volunteer needed!

We're looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to help receive donations of books and other materials from the community. Our team of volunteers accept, move, and sort hundreds of books a week! We need an active individual for our dedicated donation hours to help folks unload and move their donations from their vehicles, into boxes and/or onto carts.

This is an individual, independent task, in a public-facing, indoor & outdoor environment that can be busy and noisy. This can be an ideal opportunity for college students!

Shifts

Current openings for 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month from 9:00am to 11:00am.

Requirements

Ability to lift boxes up to 50lbs

Use carts to move boxes of books from tables to pallets

Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, and those under 18 years must obtain parent/guardian consent. We are unable to accommodate court-ordered community service hours. All volunteers (including minors) must comply with the requirements for clearances in accordance with Pennsylvania law and policies established by Manheim Township Public Library. Clearances must be submitted prior to the start of volunteer service, and must be kept up to date to continue volunteering. The required clearances are a Pennsylvania Criminal Background Check, Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance, and either an FBI Fingerprint Based Federal Criminal History or Disclosure Statement Application for Volunteers.
