🌿 A HUGE thank you to Kerrie for all her hard work on the library's back patio today! ☀️👏🏼

She spent time digging weeds out of the cracks, tidying up the space, and giving the entire patio a much-needed refresh ✨ It was a hot one today but that didn't stop her from making the area look amazing!! 😍

We are SO grateful for volunteers like Kerrie who help keep our library beautiful and welcoming for everyone Thank you, Kerrie! 💚📚🌿✨

🌿 Volunteer Shout-Out 📣

THANK YOU to Virginia & her sweet son for helping keep our library grounds looking beautiful! 😍

While weeding on the patio, she uncovered an entire bed of Hostas hidden beneath the overgrowth 🌱🌱 She pops in when she can and always works harder than she should! We are so grateful for her time, energy, and care!

Thank you, Virginia! 💚📚👏🏼

⚠️ A huge THANK YOU to one of our amazing Friends of the Library volunteer, Lou Smith 💚

Someone removed all the bolts from our Library's sign, leaving it unstable and dangerous 😞 While out weeding, this wonderful volunteer noticed the issue and took the time to fix it before anyone got hurt ⚒️ 🌿

We’re SO grateful for the people who quietly care for our Library in big and small ways!! Your kindness, watchful eye, and willingness to jump in make such a difference for our community 💖

Please help us thank Lou for keeping our Carpenter Memorial Library safe and cared for 👏🏼✨
