Adopt-a-Shelf Volunteer – Adopt-a-Shelf workers agree to monitor a section of the Library’s shelving to keep books, tapes, magazines or videos/DVDs in order. This is a vital part of making the materials readily available for patron requests. Since so many people browse the collection and routinely move items from their correct shelf locations, the shelves need constant reorganization and monitoring. The only skills required are an attention to detail and some simple housekeeping skills. Once you have been trained as an Adopt-a-Shelf volunteer, you can monitor your assigned section as frequently as seems warranted and at your own scheduling convenience. This is the ideal job for a volunteer who cannot commit to a set schedule and needs extremely flexible volunteer hours. For information contact Pat Patla or Dawn Troutman at the Lakeview branch Library (541) 947-6019.

Shelving Volunteer – Shelving is the most basic daily routine within the Library’s work schedule. All materials that are returned must be reshelved and hence, there is a continual supply of items waiting to be returned to the appropriate shelving area. This is an ideal volunteer duty for someone interested in working independently and without a set time or day for working since the shelving volunteer can work anytime during the Library’s public service hours. For information contact Pat Patla or Dawn Troutman at the Lakeview branch Library (541) 947-6019.
