We're in the midst of National Volunteer Week and in our typical tradition the Palatine Public Library District recognized volunteers yesterday at the annual luncheon. We enjoyed meeting both long-term and new volunteers and were pleased to see how much our group of volunteers has grown since last year.
Volunteers serve in a number of capacities from stamping and sorting date due cards to straightening items on shelves to pulling items with a hold request and even assisting with preparation for library programs.
Our volunteers have a variety of backgrounds and all express a love of libraries and a desire to be of service to the community.
We are very fortunate and thankful to have the support of these enthusiastic volunteers.

I had no idea that the library had volunteers working the shelves - beyond the Friends of the Library booksales. Awesome!
