Library Volunteers
Any organization is only as great as its volunteers. The ROOT CELLAR Library is extremely lucky to have three volunteers who have gone above and beyond in the recent reorganization project. They are Denise Miller, Georgia Chun, and Lois Shumaker.
Denise Miller is the driving force behind the removal and relocation of the periodicals. Her desire to see empty shelves made it possible to move the 6,288 books to those newly available shelves. New and donated books now have a space on the shelves. Denise catalogues every new and donated book into the online catalog.
It is Georgia’s librarian skills drawing up a usable plan that made the book relocation smooth and efficient. Her inventory skills are helping ensure all books are correctly labeled and accounted for in the online catalog.
Lois went beyond culling outdated books. She looked at each book to make sure it is still relevant in the library. Relevant books meet the research needs of all patrons. Lois has the technical computer skills to ensure the library computer is available to the docents, volunteers, and patrons. Lois is a double volunteer as the Preserves Editor.
