Interested in helping?

We often have opportunities for volunteers! Reach out to us at friends@marionpubliclibrary.org to see what's available! 

Bookstore & Book Sales

Bookstore Volunteers

We are often looking for volunteers to help in our bookstore! Please complete a volunteer application form at the City's website and we'll reach out to you about talking with us as soon as it's approved. (If there is no "Bookstore Volunteer" position listed, we are not currently seeking help.)

Book Sale Volunteers

If you'd like to volunteer at our quarterly book sales, contact Jan about sale needs. 


Delivering Boxes of Books for Sale to Half-Price

If we do not need some of our donations for our bookstore or book sale, many will be boxed and sold to Half-Price Books.

Half-Price Hauling

We can use volunteers to haul donated books to Half-Price. This entails moving the boxes themselves, and then waiting at Half-Price while their staff evaluates and offers a price. The cash is returned to us at the library. If you'd appreciate an excuse to spend some time browsing at Half-Price, reach out to us at FriendsBookDonations@marionpubliclibrary.org. 


Better World Books Scanning

If we do not need some of our donations for our bookstore or book sale, they are scanned and, if accepted, shipped to Better World Books, our charitable online bookselling partner.

Scanning

We can often use volunteers to help scan donated books and books that have been withdrawn from the library, separate scanned books between Better World Book boxes and our sale boxes, and shift the boxes to the appropriate locations. Reach out to us at FriendsBookDonations@marionpubliclibrary.org.
