Library honors volunteers

Library volunteers share hobbies.

The staff of Sisters Library honored their volunteers at an afternoon function on Thursday, April 25. The event took place during National Volunteers Week.

"Each year we honor our volunteers who give a lot of time and effort to the library," said Sandy McDonald, library assistant and volunteer coordinator. "They are super people we couldn't do without."

Each volunteer was asked to bring a sample of their favorite hobby to share with the others.

The highlight of the afternoon was the chance to create a unique box using a cardboard form and recycled stamps. Ably assisted by three members of Girl Scout Troop 823, the volunteers set to work and walked out with a creation of their own.

When asked why they volunteered at the library, the response was enthusiastic.

Mary Ann Smith, in her second year, said "I like being around books and wanted to get involved in the community."

"My idea of heaven is a library with a warm fire and a comfy chair," said veteran Kay Barnes. "Why wouldn't we volunteer?"
