The librarians and volunteers are enjoying a small lull in action between summer programs and fall programs. This would be a great time to volunteer and learn various jobs to help support the smooth operation of the library.
Speaking of volunteers, this week's Volunteer Profile is about junior volunteer, 15-year-old Abigail Muse. Abigail began volunteer work about two years ago at the “ripe old age” of 13.
As a home school student in the Classical Conversations Home School Co-op, she has a more flexible schedule that allows her to fit in about one hour a week volunteering at the library. Usually she spends her time shelving books along with her mother, who also volunteers.
Abigail's interest in volunteering was sparked by a love of books. She said that she loves this library, especially the librarians.
The incoming 10th grader said she finds her favorite part of volunteering is getting to see all the books and the feeling that she is helping her community. Her least favorite part, she said, is not having the time to read all of the books and having to leave her friends when her time is up.
Thank you, Abigail, for choosing to volunteer. You are indeed helping your community as you work at the Van Zandt County Library.
Fall Storytime starts back at 10 a.m. Sept. 9. Miss Rhonda will be reading stories about “Library Fun.”
These programs are for infants through preschool.
The Friends of the Library has received a donation from Gale and Vickie Kimbrough in memory of Eula Faye Moore.
Please put the first Friends meeting of the new year on your schedule for 10 a.m. Sept. 12.
There will be many issues to discuss, including a vote on the proposed new library sign. Any resident of Van Zandt County is invited to join and become a part of actively supporting the library.
Come into the library and ask “What's going on?” The friendly librarians will be glad to inform you.
Or pick up the fall schedule for Storytime. Also, before you drop in, you can check the website, www.vanzandtlibrary.org.
