Description

Programs and activities are a huge part of the Albany Public Library and our service to the community. It takes a lot of tools, materials, and planning for the librarians to share a variety of programs focused on science, art, history, literature, personal development, entertainment, and so much more. Each neighborhood library branch does its best to provide engaging and meaningful experiences to its patrons. 

All of the tools and resources that librarians use to share programs are stored in supply closets at the libraries. These storage areas can become quite full of wacky toys, multi-use craft materials, art supplies, science experiments, and who knows what else. The Albany Public Library is looking for an interested volunteer to help us organize these closets and generate a list of the stocked items. The volunteer(s) would work alongside the Volunteer Coordinator to develop an inventory and organize the items. 

A successful volunteer will be someone who enjoys organizing, recording items in a spreadsheet, and working with others. If you or someone you know is interested in helping out, respond to this volunteer opportunity and a library staff member will be in contact with you about the next steps.
