Our volunteers are the life of our Library. We are not just
a treasure of books and writing, but a treasure trove of good friends and support.
Our volunteers sort and catalogue books, contact our members
and answer our phone. They also paint the lunch room, clean out the office, raise funds and tidy
the toys. Others teach the practice of Iconography and lead discussions. They do this with a warm
welcoming smile as you walk in the door.
They also have so much to teach us at the Library.
One of our regular volunteers, is an intrepid adventurer in
her 70’s, she is now in Siberia. When asked why Siberia? Her answer was ‘why not?’ Another volunteer is
a dynamo cataloguer, she is also a medical doctor specializing in Cystic Fibrosis. Just to keep
her mind sharp she is studying Hebrew!
Another regular volunteer buries himself in our latest
donated collections and surfaces with fabulous book reviews – watch out for his contributions to later
Library Briefs editions.
The one common grace about our volunteers is their love for
our Library and their big welcome when you visit us.
