Volunteering

I was in charge of the phones and customer service, returning books to their shelves, checking out books, and alphabetizing holiday books in the stock rooms. Volunteered on weekends to take part in a children's literacy program to promote literacy in young children so they could develop a love for reading. I wrote children's stories and read them to groups of 15-20 children.
