Help us kick off National Gratitude Month by saying thank you to our volunteers!
Volunteers are an invaluable part of Anchorage Public Library. This year they've helped us in big ways and small. They helped us move the Alaska Collection to the third floor, they've provided peer assistance in the Job Shop, they've organized the book sales, and much, much more.
This November we're honoring all of our volunteers on Friday, November 1 in the Ann Stevens Room. Light refreshments will be available at 11:30am, speeches and awards will start at 12:30pm.
This is a great time to learn more about volunteering at Anchorage Public Library.
