Volunteer Opportunities
Interested in donating your time to Little City Foundation? There are many volunteer opportunities available to help contribute to the success of the annual Little City Used Book Sale.

Book donations arrive daily to Little City Foundation and volunteers are needed before the sale to help sort, price and package books in our Palatine-based book warehouse. The 10-day sale at Old Orchard also relies heavily on volunteer participation. Every year indivduals and groups come to lend at a hand with information distribution, book sorting, checkout, and baggers.

Individual and group volunteers are welcome during the work day, on evenings and on weekends as well. If you are interested in volunteering before or during the book sale, contact the Little City Volunteer Department at
volunteer@littlecity.org or (847)221-7804 for more information.
