Looking to volunteer at our Summer Book Sale?
You have come to the right spot! We are looking for volunteers for our 2025 Summer Book Sale happening at CCPL's John's Island Library Branch with our member pre-sale starting on August 7. We can not run our amazing book sales without you and we will need volunteers. Volunteer opportunities include:
- Set Up (Unloading boxes from pallets and moving them to the correct tables for unpacking and unpacking boxes on to tables.
- Floor Assistance (organizing books during the book sale)
- Cashier (must be comfortable using electronic devices to take payments)
- Take Down (pack remaining books in boxes and move materials and boxes back to back of the house
- Managing the table for dealers
Please fill out the information below to register to volunteer. If there is a specific job that you would like to do, please indicate it on your registration. Please understand that we will make every effort to accomodate requests, but the particular job you request may not be available. Once you submit this form, you are registered. We are a volunteer non-profit organization that relies heavily on our volunteers so for any reason you cannot make it, please cancel your slot within 24 hours of your start time. If you can not cancel your volunteer slot or need to do so within 24 hrs. of the sale, please contact us by email at director@charlestonlibraryfriends.org.
With our increasing costs, we have had to make an adjustment to our volunteer thank you program. We would like to offer each volunteer a $6.00 coupon. The amount is equal to cost of a new hardback fiction book. The coupons are available one to a person, regardless of the number of shifts worked. Please note that the coupon must be used at the sale for which you volunteered and no partial credits are available. We recommend that you bring a closeable container of water with you and consider having a light sweater or jacket available as the room can sometimes feel cool. We do not provide water or snacks at our Branch sales due to limited space.
