Volunteers Sought to Help Extend Library Hours
Aug 4th
Here’s great coverage of the ongoing situation at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. Volunteers are needed and being trained to help do things like pull holds, check in materials, shelve, and organize the collections. This frees up the limited remaining staff to continue providing the excellent customer service that the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is known for.
Library Volunteer Coordinator Chauna Wall told me that one of the hopes is that these volunteers will get a close up and personal, behind-the-scenes look at the work library staff do. These volunteers will be able to provide testimony as to the importance of libraries and will be some of the Library’s biggest advocates in upcoming elections and budget planning for next year.

In the words of Paul Simon, “Times are hard, it’s a hard time. But everybody knows all about hard times. The thing is, what are you gonna do?” (“Wartime Prayers”).
I’ve got two suggestions: keep up the good fight for libraries, and keep up your sense of humor too. After all, libraries are meant to transform lives and brighten days. Here’s to all the fun-loving library advocates out there.
