Volunteering at Darien Book Aid Plan, Inc.

If you love books and would like to spread your love of books and reading worldwide, you may wish to join us as a volunteer.  The workshop hours are listed on the home page.  There is a wide variety of people who volunteer at Book Aid, from high school students to senior citizens.  One hour a week is usually enough to fill an order or two.  It is helpful if you are familiar with a broad range of books and have an idea of what kinds of books work well for particular audiences.

In order to express your desire to volunteer, you may leave a message on the answering system at Book Aid (203-655-2777), stop in during workshop hours or email  darienbookaid@yahoo.com.  There are evening hours for people who are unavailable during the normal weekday workshop hours and Saturday hours from 10-noon most weeks.  

There are also other volunteer tasks:  changing light bulbs, shelving books, packing boxes, watering the geraniums, saving books from dumpsters, etc.  People choose an activity they enjoy and set their own hours and availability.
