Harrison County Public Library volunteers were invited to a recognition reception on Thursday, April 20, for Volunteer Recognition Day. The library hosted the event in the Blaine H. Wiseman Community Room at the library. Bite-sized desserts, fruit, coffee and tea were served. Volunteers received a certificate recognizing their individual service for the library as well as library “swag.”
Director Alisa Burch said, ” This year we have an outstanding group of new volunteers who have made adding more adult programming possible. Plus we have very dedicated, long-term volunteers who repair books, man our book sales and serve on our active library board of trustees.”
Library volunteers help in many ways, some in front of the scenes and some behind. Some volunteers run programs such as photography, book clubs or English as a Second Language. Volunteers help with book repair, cleaning DVDs/CDs or assisting library personnel during youth programs. The library could not run without the Board of Trustees and the support of the Friends group.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS!
