Volunteer Your Time and Energy!

Volunteers are the backbone of Books & Global Treasures shop and the annual Art & BookFair, making them both possible.

During the year, our team enjoys working together in the Books & Global Treasures shop while simultaneously preparing for the annual Art and BookFair. Some of the year-round tasks are collecting, sorting, pricing and organizing the stream of donations. Your personal cultural experience and insights can be invaluable.

Can’t come into the shop regularly? Some items may be researched on the web from anywhere.

Volunteers also help with publicity (posters, signs,) and picking up donations. There are many other tasks that volunteers perform during the actual Art & BookFair. These include assisting customers, cashiering, keeping shelves tidy, replenishing the selections, setting up and breaking down the venue and supporting the Stamp Corner, Art Corner and Volunteer breakroom.

Join our team working on and off site. Hours flexible.

Don’t wait to sign-up to volunteer. We need 30-40 volunteers throughout the year, increasing to more than 100 during Art & BookFair. Contact Anne Kauzlarich for more information: Anne.kauzlarich@aafsw.org.

More ways you can help: Donate books, foreign stamps, jewelry and cultural wares. We can arrange a pick-up if needed. Books can also be dropped off in the blue book collection bins at various locations in main State, SA1 (Columbia Plaza) and SA17 (19 th St. NW).
