Getting the sales room ready involves moving hundreds of boxes of books, and can only be done with the help of many volunteers. We are in need of able-bodied volunteers who can lift boxes of books onto dollies or carts, wheel them to the sales room, and unload them.
We also need people who can unpack the boxes of books and arrange them on tables or shelves.
