Adult Volunteer Appreciation Exhibit
Friday, April 26, 2024
Saturday, April 27, 2024
Our Makerspace and Adult Services rely heavily on volunteers. In 2023, 533 of 669 programs were led by volunteers- about 80%! Volunteers teach woodworking, fabric arts, photography, writing, etc. They help with shelving, selling books to support programs, and providing tech help appointments. For National Volunteer Appreciation Week we are meeting with our adult volunteers to celebrate their thousands of hours of service to the library community. Each has been asked to bring an item to represent their work at the LOL Library. Come see the range of talents shared by our amazing volunteers.
