About volunteering

PFOL is always in need of volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please contact us as PendletonFriendsOfTheLibrary@gmail.com.

There are several ways to get involved:

• You can come out with PFOL to support a recurring or one-off library program

• You can volunteer during the week of the annual book sale (more info on this below)

• You can volunteer throughout the year to help sort donated books for the books sale. Sorters meet in the basement of City Hall on Monday evenings, 7:00 - 8:00 PM.

• You can serve as a judge for our annual bookmark contest

• You can serve a two-year term as a PFOL board member

All volunteers are highly encouraged to complete a volunteer form with the City of Pendleton. Please stop by City Hall to fill out a form (500 SW Dorion Ave, Pendleton, OR 97801) prior to volunteering at an event.

Volunteering for the annual book sale

There are so many ways that you can lend a hand for the annual book sale, including:

• Lending a hand to help load up and transfer books from City Hall to the Convention Center. Help is also needed with unloading books.

• Sorting and organizing books at the Convention Center prior to the sale

• Lending a hand during the actual sale, either by tallying books, loading books into people's cars, managing and tidying inventory at the sale, etc.

• Helping recruit and sign up new PFOL members at the sale.

• And much, much more.

If you are interested in helping in any of these capacities, please reach out to us at PendletonFriendsOfTheLibrary@gmail.com
