For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, the library hosted volunteer appreciation celebrations to recognize our adult volunteers on April 24 and teen volunteers on May 9. More than 40 volunteers attended. Before they left, we asked volunteers to share a note on why they choose to volunteer with the library—and this is what they had to say:
- I want to be an active member of my community.
- To share my knowledge and experience with patrons and the community.
- I want to give back to the library. I brought my children and we always enjoyed all the events and crafts when they were younger. Let me support the library in return!
- To help members of the community to read.
- Reading is a superpower, and I want to share it with everyone.
- Originally, I volunteered for school purposes, but I chose to continue because I just really enjoy being here.
