Agency: Hillsboro Public Library

Description:

Help us spruce up the Children's Section at the Hillsboro Public Library! Volunteers will straighten shelves of books and other materials, re-shelve books, read shelves to make sure books are in the right order and shelve videos and other materials. To keep everything bright, we'll be cleaning books of stickiness leftover from little hands and fingers!  We'll also do some shelf shifting to spread the books out to occupy empty shelves, thereby making the sections less jammed.

The mission of the Hillsboro Public Library is to provide materials and services to help community residents of all ages and cultural backgrounds to meet their informational, educational, professional, and recreational needs. Materials are collected, organized, and made conveniently accessible in various formats and ability levels. Services are provided in a friendly and timely manner.

This project is open to volunteers age 14 and up. Volunteers under 18 must bring a waiver signed by a Parent/Guardian; please click on the link below to download: Youth Volunteer Waiver
