A call to action from The Friends

It has been a year in the making, but the Friends of the Library (FOL) are now ready to move forward with our used book store Encore!

We are seeking volunteers to join our team and be a part of another positive community venture.

Your investment can be as simple as donating a few hours sorting books, to taking a board position with the FOL, or anywhere in between — it’s your choice.  If that sounds like something you might be interested in, please email or tracey.pause@voorpl.org.
