Things You Can Do to Help

Sometimes you may finish a project and think you need someone to give you another one.  If the staff are all busy, there are still things you can do to help.  Here is a  partial list:

1. Shelve picture books, chapter books, children’s paperback and board books, straighten
paperback chapter books.

2. Straighten books on shelves – Children’s section first, but also adult section, pick up books off
floor, lying down unshelved, in the wrong place turned around backward, etc.

3. Shelf-reading – pull books forward to the edge of shelf, (children’s section first), put books in
order (for fiction this is alphabetical by the author’s last name.)

4. Dust and clean shelves – duster is on shelf also, any shelves – in work room, children’s section,
adult section, hold shelves, very top and very bottom shelves – all of it.

5. Clean up, and straighten children’s section.

6. Clean board books – take board books out of tubs and dump dust out of tubs then clean books
with baby wipes.
