Volunteers perform a number of different jobs, including serving as Day Manager, working the cash register, shelving books that have been priced, or sorting and pricing newly donated books and other items in the Work Room. A volunteer may also adopt a particular subject area and assume responsibility for decisions about what to keep, what to discard, when and what to put on sale, while keeping the shelves neat and tidy. One person may perform several different roles during the course of a work day or over a period of time.

Currently, twenty-five regular volunteers staff Books Again during the week, with numerous part-timers, who donate approximately 550 hours of their time to Books Again each month.

This group comes from a wide variety of educational and occupational backgrounds and life-experiences. There are retirees and still active workers.
