Kern County Library

The Friends of the Kern County Library, Inc. and individual branch Friends groups are completely dependent on the time given by volunteers in various capacities and are actively recruiting new volunteers. Currently, there are two classifications of volunteers:

1. Weekly Volunteers that sort, clean, price, & pack books/materials for future Book Sales
2. Book Sale Volunteers that perform various tasks associated with the Book Sale itself

• A Packer/Unpacker – Helps before & after Book Sale with set-up & take-down
• A Counter at point of sale – Helps count number of books for each purchase
• A Cashier – Handles money transactions at the cashier station
• Customer Service Guide – Helps customers, answers questions, assists in carrying out purchases, refills tables with more books, hands out shopping bags, & ensures general customer satisfaction
• A Heavy Lifter – Responsible for lifting heavy tables, boxes of books, moving furniture, and other tasks associated with the Book Sale (approx. 30-35lbs)

If you have some time and would like to meet new people, share, and increase your knowledge of books, and help the Library – we would like to hear from you! If interested, please call (661) 868-0796 and leave a voicemail.
