Do you have an eye for detail? Are you passionate about precision? Do you have a knack for numbers and an aptitude for alphabetization? If so, we'd love to have your support as a Stacks Steward!
On an ongoing basis, Stack Stewards review library collections to look for lost materials and ensure each item is in its proper place. This involves reading, organizing, facing, balancing, and tidying library shelves. At the beginning of each shift, Stacks Stewards review the list on the Circulation bulletin board or check in with a Circulation lead worker to learn the highest priorities for the shift.
This position is slightly less physically demanding than the library's other Circulation volunteer positions. Volunteers should be comfortable pushing a small cart of books, lifting books one at a time, and accessing the top, middle, and bottom shelves of the library's collections.
Stacks Steward is a Circulation position. Circulation volunteers are required to complete three shifts per month. Stacks Steward shifts are 1 hour long and available during specific library hours. If you have completed the library's Circulation volunteer training, you may sign up for this position.
