Meet a Volunteer Who Helps Get Books to the Right Places
Taylor Rhodes works on Sundays in the circulation department at Central Library. She sorts books in the pre-shelving area, put holds out for patrons, adds new books to the New Books section, and does whatever else she can help with.
Taylor tells us, "I've been volunteering for two years, and I love it." She enjoys being a part of the library community so much that volunteering with us on Sundays is the high point of her week!
Outside of the library, she is a fundraiser for Mental Health America, a nonprofit organization that advocates for people with mental health issues and works to educate the general public about mental wellness. Her job allows her to help people who need it most, and volunteering at the library allows her to help the community she lives in.
She encourages everyone to volunteerwhen they can.
