Shelf-Reading Practice
One area for which the Library will consistently need volunteers is shelf-reading. Shelf reading is the art of reading the books’ spine labels on the shelf to ensure they are in the proper order and place. If a book is even a few books away from its proper place, a patron may not be able to find it!
To prepare yourself for Shelf-Reading, please take this basic Shelver quiz. There are two portions: Fiction and Dewey (Nonfiction).
