History books waiting to be unpacked. |
Here’s how you can help:
Volunteer
Our book sales are wonderful opportunities for community
participation, and offer great benefits: the warm glow of contributing a few
hours to a worthy cause, the fellowship of a friendly, interesting, and
dedicated group of people, and pre-sale buying privileges (with a couple
restrictions – see this post
for details). Volunteers typically serve the following roles:
- Publicity volunteers help put up signs and post to online calendars. We are particularly in need of a volunteer with graphic design experience!
- Hospitality volunteers plan and purchase the food needed to sustain the hard-working sale volunteers. They also set up, serve and clean up during the sale.
- Set-up and re-stocking: starting September 19, we will be packing up the Friends’ work room, putting up tables, and unpacking and arranging books. Volunteers also restock the tables during the sale and pack up and restore the library to its normal layout after the sale.
- Cashiers and assistant cashiers: As many as we can get, to keep the check-out lines moving along.
Whether you want to contribute just a few hours or a whole
day, we can use your help! Just drop us a line at georgemasonfriends@gmail.com.

And of course, a fun and easy way to help is to simply shop
the sale and take home bags of terrific books, music, movies, and games.
So much entertainment and educational goodness!
