BOOKSTORE VOLUNTEERS
We are not currently onboarding new volunteers at our Bookstores. Please feel free to check back in future for any potential openings.
Our two used bookstores in Rockville and Wheaton rely on volunteers for many tasks including sorting, shelving, and customer service. Volunteers should be at least 14 years old. Volunteering is an active position requiring bending, lifting, stretching, and shifting boxes of books up to 40lbs on occasion. Volunteers should have a knowledge of book genres and the ability to differentiate between types of nonfiction, fiction, memoir, history, and classic. FOLMC is interested mainly in long-term volunteers so you can be trained in our shelving methods and duties, and for learning the many subject locations throughout the bookstore in order to assist customers.
BRANCH BOOKSALE VOLUNTEERS
Honor booksales at MCPL Branches rely on volunteers for tasks including sorting and shelving. Volunteering is an active position requiring bending, lifting, stretching, and shifting boxes of books up to 40lbs on occasion. FOLMC is interested mainly in long-term volunteers to ensure consistency of sales. Apply to volunteer at honor sales here.
