Need CAR hours??

The library is in need of students to volunteer in the afternoon. The library is open to the community and as a volunteer you would work with elementary and middle school students either reading to them or helping them with their homework. If you are interested, please stop by the library right after school and speak to Anne Sadeghpour, the community librarian. This a great way to earn your CAR hours.
