Can You Give Us a Hand?

Check out our Volunteer Open House July 2

We’re having a Volunteer Open House Saturday, July 2nd at 11 a.m. Come by and see how it all works. We’ve been inundated with so many wonderful donations.  If you love books and could consider committing to even one day a month to give us a hand, we could use the help!
There are a wide variety of things to do at our Book Loft:
  • Research, sorting, pricing, and packing books  (any one or combination of those)
  • Assistance with pick-ups: we have barrels around town, plus we offer a service to pick up book donations from people who aren’t able to bring them in.
  • Want to learn how to sell books on eBay? We’ll be happy to show you!

Many of the tasks here do not require a great physical effort, but a few more people with strong backs would be incredibly helpful.

We’re open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 10  to 3 and Wednesdays from 1 to 7. The Book Loft is air-conditioned, and we have snacks for volunteers!

We are looking for volunteers who can help us regularly, anywhere from once a month to every day we’re open. If you can only commit to a single day, we will have opportunities for that during our August Round-Up (August 20) and of course during our fantastic Dayton Book Fair, November 7th through the 14th. Proceeds from this year’s Book Fair benefits FilmDayton, K12 Gallery & TEJAS and Learning Tree Farm.

If you’re interested in volunteering, give us a call at 937.999. 4491 or stop in at our Volunteer Open House at our Book Loft on Saturday July 2nd at 11 a.m at 2181 Embury Park Road, in Dayton.
