We need your help! If you are interested in volunteering at The RED Bookshelf's space, this opportunity is for you! We will either be cleaning and mending books, or counting and organizing book donations at our space: 200 Green St. in Albany.
- Book Mending- working with materials such as Windex, Goo Gone, scissors, stickers, various types of tape, colored pencils and more! All of these items are used to clean and mend books that have been donated, bringing them back to like-new condition and ready for children to choose and read in their homes.
- Donation Intake- unpacking book donations, counting and sorting, then repacking the books, so they are ready for mending
What we do on the date you volunteer depends on our greatest need at the time, it will be one or the other.
The entrance to our space is in the back of 200 Green St. There is generally ample, unrestricted parking on Green St. in front. If you look to the right of the building you will see a large flagpole. Follow the sidewalk from that flagpole toward the back of the building, look to the left and you will see our entrance: a green and glass door with a RED Bookshelf sign above it.
Or you can set your navigation to Bassett and Dongan in Albany. Turn onto Dongan and that will bring you up into a parking lot. From the lot you will see our entrance, that green and glass door.
