Retired and Volunteers at the Library

by Audrey
(San Francisco)

I volunteer once a week at the Donation Center of the San Francisco Public Library. This started two weeks after I retired.

The location is a 2 story warehouse. The volunteers sort from 5000 to 10,000 donated books per week. Many are from publishers who donate 25 copies of the same 9 year old hard bound book with coffee table/gift cover.

Each week I see DiVinci Code, Harry Potter and a Holy Bible. The donated books are sold at quarterly sales and at 2 locations. I also type mailing labels for online sales.
