This opportunity is dedicated to supporting the process through which books (and other materials) from the library's collection and public donations are discarded. Materials that are deemed discards are nonetheless handled with care so that they can reach the next phase of their life, whether that means being resold by an external vendor or being recycled.
In this volunteer role, you will:
- Scan discard materials (books and media) and separately them accordingly.
- Prepare materials for pick-up.
- Handle, carry, and move loaded boxes.
- Potentially take on other tasks relevant to discarded materials.
Please note: Due to the nature of this opportunity's tasks, interested volunteers should be able to lift boxes that weigh between 25-40 lbs.
