Volunteer Numbers Up in 2008

Read an article yesterday (and saw an expanded news report on TV later) about the influx of volunteers nationwide. The news report focused on a retired couple who sold their home and now spend their days traveling around in an RV rebuilding homes for needy families.

The stats include all volunteer endeavors so I assume that includes those who volunteer at libraries as well.

More and more people contact our office after seeing a PSA about our program or seeing an ad in the newspaper or hearing about it from a friend who already volunteers with us.
This is really neat! I am also pleased that our pool of volunteers include those from a wide variety of professions and backgrounds.

What an encouraging and uplifting phenomenon.
