Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Kornblitt , responding once again to a newsletter request, provided the funds to purchase Juran's Quality Handbook . Thanks to Michael Shay , the two-volume history of The Old Northwest by R. Carlyle Buley is now in our collection. If you are homebound and want to check out some library books, a library volunteer will deliver them to your home. If you are using directories for local businesses or community groups, it's most likely a volunteer who has updated the information. They sharpen the little pencils we all use by the computers and Reference Desk, and replenish the scrap cards and yellow request cards for the notes we take.
Volunteers read shelves, relocate books, and even, on occasion, assemble shelves.
Some provide general office help or database editing. The hours are flexible, the people are congenial. We really appreciate all that the do. Volunteers work alongside paid and professional staff, but do not replace them. There are twenty-four active volunteers in Adult Services performing a variety of tasks.
