We are so grateful for our amazing team of volunteers and can't wait to have you at Storybridge!! Take a look at the descriptions for each volunteer need and scroll down to the buttons below to sign up for a shift.
Book Sorting:
We need your help sorting books donated to us from the community. These volunteers assess book quality and then place the book into the appropriate age range (by interest, not reading level):
0-3 years old
4-6 years old
7-9 years old
10-12 years old
Book Prep:
This team makes sure the books are polished up so they feel as new as possible to the children that choose them. This is a fun job for kids over 6 and families!
This process involves:
Book Collection:
We need reliable volunteers willing to help pick up books that have been donated at our drop-off locations around Amarillo and Canyon and bring them to Storybridge. This position is pretty flexible and sometimes looks like a regular weekly or monthly pick up at a specific local school or business. In order to save valuable time and space, we will train you to sort the books you pick up by quality. We will be counting on you to bring us the books that children will love to receive, and take the rest... somewhere else. :)

- You don't need to be a certified teacher or librarian, but it does take a certain minimal experience as a reader/parent/caretaker to be able to sort books by age-appropriateness, so we like our book sorters to be at least 15 years old.

This process involves:
