Library Volunteers Urgently Needed!

Some of the library volunteers will be "graduating" in June and need to be replaced. Additional volunteers are also needed. Here is a repost of the request from library staff posted in Decemeber:

If you have any free time and are willing, the Fort River Library needs you. Usually we can train you in 30-40 minutes for the job(s) you choose. Book repairs can be done at home or here. Give us a call or stop by to see what it might feel like to work in the library. Try it. Your schedule to volunteer can be whenever you are free and flexible. -- Fran Ludington, Librarian, Joanne Shea, Paraeducator (Email: ludingtf@arps.org) 

Kristin DeLuca, first grade parent, offers her thoughts on volunteering in the library:

"Giving just a few hours to the library each week is a rewarding experience and a fun way to get involved with your child's school environment. Any time that volunteers are able to help with book shelving or assist with projects frees up valuable time for the librarian to prep for student lessons. Ms. Ludington and Ms. Shea are great to work with and very flexible ... even if you only have a half hour one week, dropping in to help tidy up is very much appreciated! It doesn't take long to get trained, so I'd encourage anyone available to drop by and check it out."
