Volunteers of all ages (13 and up) have an opportunity to support the Back Mountain Memorial Libray as a wide variety of jobs with no skill required and hours are available for the library’s annual auction.

Set-up dates are Sunday, July 7 through Tuesday, July 10.

Tasks include moving items to the sales tents, arranging merchandise, and hanging banners. Set-up hours will be mostly during the day.

Auction dates are Thursday, July 11 through Sunday, July 14.

Tasks include staffing booths, keeping the grounds clean and, helping with directing traffic in parking areas (at the satellite lot at the Dallas Shopping center). Strong people are needed during the auction to help move larger items to the auction stage and to the pickup area, where buyers can load their purchases into their vehicles. Auction hours are 4 to 11 p.m. daily.

Post auction cleanup will be on Monday morning, July 15.

Clean-up is on the morning of the day following the auction. The tents will be removed by the rental company but display tables will need to be removed, trash will need to be removed and the library grounds prepared for the farmers market which begins the following weekend. This is a one-day process.
