Volunteers are always needed to support the various services offered at the Clayton Library. Volunteer opportunities range from short-term to long-term projects, from working on a scheduled shift to working on an “as needed” basis, and from working with the public to working “behind the scenes”. In other words, there is something for everyone! Volunteer opportunities are currently available in the following areas:
Digitization – scan and digitize Clayton books for inclusion on the Family History Archives website (www.lib.byu.edu/fhc); this digitization project currently enables library users to search through hundreds of Clayton books for a specific person with one single click! (4 to 8 hrs per week requested)
Clayton House Volunteers (Spring 2010) – monitor the Clayton House welcome desk and assist library visitors with using microfilm on loan through the LDS Microfilm Rental Program (2 hrs per week requested)
Shelving – return books to their proper place on the shelf and help keep shelves in proper order (2 hrs per week recommended)
Special Projects – join the growing team of volunteers that are “on call” to assist with special projects that arise from time to time at the library; special projects vary widely and may include inventories, indexing, photocopying, etc. (as needed, upon request)
For more information on these and other volunteer opportunities, please contact the Clayton Library at 832-393-2600, or stop by the library and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator. Thank you for your interest in volunteering!
