Library Volunteers Needed for Next Year!
Would you be interested in volunteering in the library next year?  These volunteers help check materials in and out, shelve book and assist the library staff with special projects.  Lenski's dedicated library volunteers allow our great staff to spend more time working with the students. 

Shifts are either from 9am to 12pm or from 1pm - 3:30pm, and most shifts would be twice a month. We try and schedule you when your child's class is in library - it is a fun way to see them and their classmates. 

If you are interested, please contact Lisanna Parkhurst .  Thank you!
