Regular+Tasks

The following tasks are ones that can almost always be done when you are looking for something to do.


 * shelving books
 * shelf reading (making sure books on shelves are in the correct order)
 * straightening books to make sure the spines are even with the front edges of the shelves
 * shelf shifting - moving some books up or down a shelf to avoid tight, over-crowded shelves
 * logging magazines using the online magazine form
 * dusting (especially around the bottoms of the shelves, also on tops of books and empty spaces at ends of shelves)
 * checking for holds (click the link for detailed instructions)
 * discarding any weeded items
 * check the "volunteer tasks" drawer for ongoing tasks and other projects.
