Volunteers Needed!

Quiet Zone

We are looking for volunteers Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri (12:15 - 12:45) to work in the Quiet Zone every other week when the library is not open. The children really look forward to going into the Quiet Zone to read, draw, play games, etc. If you are willing to help, please email me at lkntaylor@yahoo.com.

Yard Duty

Our children need to be supervised on the play ground. We need help as Mr. Marchetti cannot do all three playgrounds by himself. We need help M/T/TH/F from 12-12:45. If you are willing to help, please email Noemi: ndelrosario3@comcast.net
