Volunteering at the Library and with the Friends

Volunteer with the Friends of the Green Valley Library

Bookstore volunteers

Friends volunteers staff the bookstores in the Bookstore Warehouse and at the Annex in the Green Valley Village.  Proceeds from the sale of donated books help support the library and its programs.

Volunteers to Help Move Books Urgently Needed

The Friends need volunteers to help with occasional transporting of donated books in Green Valley and at times to Tucson.

Volunteers must have their own transportation and be strong enough to lift boxes of books. 

If you have time to give and would like to volunteer to help move books or to learn more, please email your name and telephone number to: gvlibraryfriends@gmail.com

Thank you!
