Ever wonder how much of a difference a volunteer makes? I know, it seems rather broad doesn't it? But I was reminded of it today upon arriving to work to see our shelving carts empty and a whole entire shelf of books to be repaired completely empty.

How cool is that?

I tell you, it made our staff happy. It made me happy. And our volunteers...well we try to make them happy too because they are part of the essential backbone of our library system.

So go on, find a volunteer nearest you and say thank you. And when you've done that, think about becoming a volunteer yourself. It takes so little to make such a huge difference.
