Our Library…volunteers make it happen!

Since I volunteer at the Library at times, I got to go to yesterday’s Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon sponsored by the Friends of the Library at the Peppermill.
Edie receives her 20-year service pin from Library director Laura.
It was great…the food was good, the company was good, and it gave me an appreciation for all the work that gets done at our library. Volunteer coordinator Diana Warner told me there are over 100 folks who donate their time & talent & love to make the place run so smoothly.
One volunteer received a 20-year service pin – Edie deChadenedes has been coming by since 1989, and she’s one of the reasons our older books look so good…she mends them and gets them back on the shelves (she even gives workshops on this!) That’s her with Library Director Laura Tretter after the ceremony…other received their 10 & 5-year pins, as well.
I know, I know….this makes you think, “Hey, I could do that!” I know how you are, always wanting to help. So call Diana at 378-2798 and see what she may be needing this week.
And to all the vols…thanks!

It is always something to go to the library and see so many people scurrying around. My cousin is a librarian back in Ohio and when she visited last year, she said, How many people work here, anyway? I am proud of our public library and all the people who get so involved!
