We would like to thank all of our volunteers whose contributions totaled 460 hours for the year: Marlene Barba, Debbie Firestone, Lillian Gunther, Nicole Miele, Charlene Palmer, Helena Power, and Fatima Sabovic. A note of special thanks to our retired children’s librarian and tireless volunteer, Lillian Gunther, who contributed over 150 hours of her time last year.

If you haven’t already, visit the Shop and get acquainted. Shop manager Christie and the volunteers host a fun experience every time you visit this unique, eclectic store. Hours are flexible and they love to work with teens too (think community service hours…). And don’t forget, it’s a great place to donate gently used clothing and small household items. IT ALL MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

Contact the library for more information or Christie at the Shop (454 Piermont Ave, Piermont) to discuss volunteer opportunities.
