Hope Academy is updating our computer system in the library and it will have some exciting new features such as the ability to search and reserve books from home. To bring our system up to date, we need to do some data entry, and we need your help! If you have computer skills, can type carefully, and enjoy accuracy, this job is for you. A basic background check is required because students may be in the room while you're working. See the Sign Up Genius for more information and to sign up for a volunteer spot.
