Friends of the Library
Sunday, April 7 & Monday, April 8, 2024
The Friends of the Library is seeking a parking attendant to operate the Library’s lower lot during the solar eclipse weekend, Sunday, April 7 and Monday, April 8. This weekend will be a great opportunity for the Friends to fundraise for the Library, but we can’t do it alone.
Parking spaces will be pre-sold, so no money handling is required. The attendant will earn $500 for both days. You can even partner with a friend and split the money! The attendant will need to:
- Monitor the lot from 8 am – 8 pm each day
- Control entrance to parking in the Library’s lower lot and direct parkers to prepaid assigned spots.
- Use their own smart phone and install parking app.
- Be 18 or older.
