Do you love the WML (we all do) and wish you could help but don't know how? Do you want to meet new people? If this describes you than do I have a deal for you. The Book Store Next Door needs volunteer cashiers. Each shift is only 3 hours. Wednesday morning or afternoon. Saturday morning or afternoon. Sit at the checkout station to greet people as they enter the store, carry donations to the back room, and exchange money for books and movies. All while chatting with the other fabulous volunteer. Volunteer once a month or once every few months. It is a great way to spend a few hours and give back to the library.

Use the link below to be added to the list of volunteers. For questions or more info email [email protected]

The Book Store Next Door is a nonprofit book store operated by Friends and volunteers. All proceeds benefit the Wilmington Memorial Library.
