April 23-29 is National Volunteer Week, and we have a lot of talented
and generous people to thank for their volunteer service to the Ridgefield
Library. Their involvement ranges from
one-time help with a special event like Love your Library Day to a multi-year
commitment as a member of our Board of Directors. They come to us as
individuals, families, students and groups like National Charity League, Boy
and Girl Scouts, Lionsheart and the Boys and Girls Club. They are young people, retirees and people of
all ages doing community service.
One very special group of volunteers is the Friends of the Ridgefield
Library, who organize popular used book sales, the proceeds of which support
many favorite Library services and collections.
Their spring sale is coming up May 5-7 (children’s books only) and May
12-15. Don’t miss it!
Teens going into grades 6-12 in the fall are invited to apply before
June 5th to volunteer with the Summer Reading Program, assisting younger
children with logging their reading and claiming their prizes. Pick up an application in the Ellis Family Teen
Center or print one from our website.
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped us during the past
year!
