Our volunteer location is in Greenwood, in the same building as the Social Justice Film Festival Institute (SJFFI.) We’ve been friends with SJFFI for many years, and we couldn’t be happier to share a home with them! (Please email us for the address.)
Our evening volunteer hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 6 to 10 pm, with a second shift on Wednesdays from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm, and an afternoon shift Saturdays from 1 pm to 5 pm. If you are doing court-ordered community service, you must email us before showing up at the space.
Note: Greenwood is only the location of our volunteer headquarters. Requests for books must be sent to our mailing address at 92 Pike St (listed above.)
