Age Has Its Benefits!

Are you a volunteer who is 55 years old or older? If so, we have recently entered into a new partnership with the Corporation for National & Community Service (funded by Americorp) to offer partial reimbursement for your travel to and from the library when you are volunteering, as well as supplemental medical insurance that covers you as you travel to and from the library ,and while you are here volunteering! To find out more and get signed up for these great perks, contact Linda Ballard (see above.)
