UPDATE: It looks like we have all the volunteers we need for this project. If I have contacted you about a day and time to come in, you are our crew. Thank you to everyone who wanted to help out!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: if you have asked about volunteering at the library, this is your chance! We are looking for a few people to put together treat boxes for a special program next week. We will need volunteers Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday to spend a little time putting these boxes together and adding a sweet treat. Call and ask for JeNel if you want to help!
