VOLUNTEERS FOR BOOK STORE NEEDED!

The Leander Library Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting the Leander Public Library by providing assistance for enhanced resources and programs, is looking for volunteers to help run a used book store. The used book store will be located where the coffee shop used to be, across from the entrance to the library, and all proceeds will be used to purchase materials and fund programs for the library.

Volunteer duties will include sorting and stocking books, assisting customers, making coffee, and using the cash register to handle money transactions for the sale of books or other merchandise. Schedules will depend on volunteers' availability.

If you are interested in a fun and productive way to help your Library, please come by the library from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on October 3rd and October 10th to help get the book store ready to open.

THANKS!

Check out My Library Book Store

Of course we have a great library, but sometimes there’s a book or video or even a CD we’d like that the library doesn’t have available. Now you have the chance to purchase it, have it delivered to your door, and make a donation to the library with just a few clicks of your mouse!

When you click on the “My Library Bookstore” tab at the top of this page, you’ll have access to over a million books, movies, and music you can order and have delivered right to your home. The profits from your purchases will be donated to the Leander Public Library to get more books for the Library. You’ll be helping the Library’s collection grow as your home library grows. It’s a win-win situation!

But that’s not all… when you donate the items you’ve purchased from My Library Bookstore to the Leander Public Library, you’ll get a discount on your next purchase from My Library Bookstore.

So if you’re looking for something the library doesn’t have, check out My Library Bookstore and support your library!
