Volunteers spreading the word

Last week two of our staff had the absolute pleasure in attending the launch of Words on Wheels at South Morang, Eltham and Rosanna.  Words on Wheels Storytelling was created by our library service a number of years ago and has now been embraced by the Yarra Plenty Library Corporation (largest in the state).  Words on Wheels provides storytelling sessions for older adults in all aged care facilities in our Shire.  Yarra Plenty will also be offering the program throughout their various Shires that make up the corporation.  It was wonderful to meet the volunteers that will be creating and delivering this program, they are so enthusiastic and happy to be doing something that will benefit so many others, as well as themselves.

As we celebrate National Volunteers Week this week we would like to thank all our wonderful volunteers that support us through Books On Wheels, Words on Wheels, Friends of the Library, Adult Literacy, Broadband for Seniors, and general library tasks.  We could not be the library service we are without you, so thanks to everyone who donate their time and energy to us.
