Welcome Desk Volunteer, July 21 – Aug 1, 2018
Welcome Desk Volunteers are needed to staff the Welcome/Information Desk in the lobby of the NV State Museum LV. Volunteers greet all people who enter the building, providing a positive first experience, and provide information about upcoming events, how to contact the library staff, general directional questions, and membership information. You should be comfortable standing or sitting for periods of time, and be willing to help during busy and slow periods. A one-hour orientation needs to be completed before you volunteer. Fill out the following form to sign up for a training session and volunteer shifts.

At the drop of a hat, you can assist the museum by transcribing index cards from the museum library’s card catalog. Use your smart phone or a home computer with Internet service. Do it for a few minutes, or longer if you like. Every bit helps. To get started, watch this video, or go directly to www.nsmlv.org/omeka:
