We’re proud and excited to relaunch the Lopez Library's Volunteer Program. Among the changes are the creation of fun and diverse “crews” of volunteers who will tackle a broad range of activities. For instance, the BiblioBlooms crew will assist with keeping the landscape around the library welcoming and weed-free, Book Wranglers will focus on ensuring books and other materials are wrangled into their proper place in the library, and Paparazzi will be on hand to photograph programs in order to capture special moments in the library. To learn more about the Refreshed Volunteer Program and find the crew you want to jump into: http://lopezlibrary.org/support-volunteer/. Artwork by Syd Stibbard.
