Re: volunteers

Our library volunteers are invaluable. Anyone who has worked around a
library knows how much daily toil goes into maintaining one, and without
our volunteers, we would cease to function! Short  of writing lesson
plans, and purchasing books, our librarians do everything - they assist
with classes, they input books into our system, they plan book fairs.
They are a wonderful resource. I think it only fair that we challenge
volunteers to learn while they contribute - it makes it much more
interesting to them, and makes them a better resource for us. Marti
