Robbins Library Seeking Volunteers to 'Adopt a Shelf'

Arlington’s Robbins LIbrary is calling all book lovers to ”adopt a shelf.”

Did you make volunteering more a 2016 resolution? Looking to give back to the Arlington community? Do you have an hour to spare for the library? If you answered yes to these, then we invite you to “Adopt a Shelf” at the Robbins Library.

The library is looking for volunteers to lend an hour of their time every week to organize a bookshelf and make sure everything is in order. It’s a simple task, but an important one that the library needs help to accomplish. And even if you’re not the biggest bookworm, the training and qualifications are simple. If you know the alphabet and can keep things in numerical order, you can help.

Interest volunteers can pick up an application form at the library’s circulation desk. Applicants must be at least 14-years-old and must pass a CORI background test.

Anyone with questions about the volunteer opportunity should contact Barbara Fulchino at 781-316-3242 or bfulchino@minlib.net.
