2025 Lead Library Books Web

LEAD Elementary Library Book Day

Volunteer at Lead Elementary’s Library Refurbishment!

Come help Lead Elementary School get their library up and running by volunteering on Saturday, September 20 from 9 am–3 pm to process hundreds of brand-new books!

Thanks to CPC’s support in remodeling the library, Lead was able to receive a special grant of books from Access Books Bay Area—a nonprofit dedicated to giving children in high-poverty neighborhoods equal access to books through refurbishing underfunded school libraries.

What you’ll do:
Access Books is looking for volunteers with attention to detail, steady hands, and a love of organization to help with:

  • Stamping and labeling books
  • Applying barcodes
  • Alphabetizing titles
  • Shelving books by Dewey Decimal order
  • Adding mylar protective covers
