Sign up to volunteer in the library during your child's weekly class visit or at drop off to re-shelve books and tidy shelves! The library needs volunteers interested in checking in/out books, re-shelving, and tidying. It is a special opportunity to see your child and their classmates engaged in a school activity. A few notes: navigate to your child's classroom using the grade level tabs along the top of the sign-up; slots open up at the last minute so check the sign-up if you find you are suddenly available; and please cancel if you are sick or younger child childcare falls through. See you in the library!
There are now slots available through the above sign-up link to come shelve books right after drop-off. Come in for 5-25 minutes to help and enjoy all that is new in the Burbank Library!
