Library Volunteer Training

9/14/2025 11:34 am

Do you enjoy keeping things tidy and organized? Can you alphabetize names in English, numerically sort and order books with call numbers that extend into multiple decimal places, and be detail oriented? Would you like to help shelve books and help kids at the library this year?

If you answered YES, then please sign up for Library Training where our two librarians, Ms. Mitchell and Ms. McClelland, will go over how the library is organized and where different books are shelved. Library volunteers from previous years, please also plan on attending for an information refresh.

We are looking for eager volunteers who can come to the library at least once a month, if not more frequently, and we are especially looking for help with the younger grades, Kindergarten in particular.

Please sign up here for the library training session on Sept 17th: Library Training Sign up

When: Wednesday, Sept 17th 8:00-9:00AM

Where: Medina Elementary Library

Please contact Stephanie Hsu, the Medina Library Volunteer Coordinator, at library@medinapta.org with any questions.

Thank you for your interest!
