Link to August 2 Reno Gazette-Journal article, "Washoe Library: volunteers busy well before big sale".Excerpt: Library administrators welcome the assistance.
"Their role is crucial to a lot of programs we provide," said Jennifer Oliver, development officer and liaison with the Friends organization.
"They have it down to a machine," she said of the volunteers' sorting and sales system. "Their heart is for literacy and the library."
Watts applauds her fellow volunteers for their reliability in showing up to help move so many books.
"It's a social thing, too," she said of the camaraderie. "We talk books. If you like books, it's a wonderful way to help the library."The Friends of the Middleton Public Library has a similarly active, dedicated, and sociable group of book sort/book sale volunteers. The revenue these sales generate supports a variety of children's, teen, and adult programs. Middleton has been most fortunate to have Friends like Kate Zimmerman, Anna Biermeier-Hanson, and JoAnn Kelly coordinate the activities.
