Reading Room of the Wangenheim Collection.<\/p><\/div>\n

In my day job at the San Diego Public Library, I supervise the Wangenheim Rare Book on the third floor at the Central Library. (Here’s the library web pages that describe this great collection: http:\/\/www.sandiego.gov\/public-library\/locations\/wangenheim.shtml<\/a>)\u00c2\u00a0We try to keep this special place open daily in the afternoons. But we rely on docents to make this happen and right now we need some new volunteers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Docents are vital to Wangenheim Room operations. Docents welcome visitors, conduct tours, and answer questions about exhibits in\u00c2\u00a0the Room. To be a docent, you must interact well with people, be able to remember text of tour script, present in friendly manner and feel comfortable working in a quiet setting. An appreciation and understanding of historical artifacts is desirable. You also must commit to working 1 day a week for 3 hours a day for at least 6 months.
