LIBRARY CALL FOR HELP!  We have several volunteers who have been intrepidly working on entering books into the new computer system.  It's simple but a bit slow.  Only one person can work at a time.  However, if we can fill up all the time slots during school hours it will go much faster.  If you have 1/2 hour or an hour a week to pop in and do some entering there are written instructions that you can follow and I will be available via text or phone to help with any questions.  When you're finished with your shift, simply leave a post-it on the computer to let the next volunteer know where you stopped, as well as placing the orange cardstock marker on the shelf that says START HERE.  

Please, please sign up for time slots that are convenient for you and we'll get this done and have a wonderful library for our kiddos and teachers to enjoy. You'll find the sign-up below.  Thank you so much!  Twila Newey-Warner 303-883-2664
