Volunteers’ "motivation can be summed
up in one word: sharing. They share their time. They share their skills
and talents. Above all, they share a human experience. They know that
the true measure of success in life is not what we gain but what we give
back to our fellow men and women. And they have the courage to believe
that what they do will make a real difference. Sharing is also how they
approach their work. They do not seek to impose their values, their
ideas or their agendas. Rather they find out what people need and want,
and they work with them to make it happen." (UN Secretary-General
Kofi Annan at the opening ceremony for the International Year of
Volunteers 2001).
The people who have given their time to the
David A. Howe Public Library throughout the year are the embodiment of
Annan’s statements. They are always seeking ways in which they can
lend their services to the library and its patrons to help keep things
running smoothly each day. Today, however, the library is in need of
more individuals willing to give of themselves and volunteer. Volunteer
opportunities at the library vary, from taking care of videos to
maintaining order on the shelves, but no matter what task needs
completing, the help of our volunteers is indispensable. |

| Now the library
seeks the help of you, its patrons. Your abilities and willingness to
help out would be greatly appreciated, and we believe you will find a
volunteer position at the library personally rewarding and fulfilling.
Did you know that some people think those who volunteer live longer,
healthier, and happier lives? Whether or not this is true, you will at
least reap the appreciation of the staff members whom you work. And if
it is true – wouldn’t the benefits be worth your time? Please stop
by the library today and request a volunteer application. Your help is
needed. |
