The Library, once again, has been cleaned, dusted, and polished. The miles of shelves and tables shine, the windows sparkle, and outside, our vines are tied up, and the entrances and the children’s courtyard have been cleaned. The Valley dust, spider webs, and sticky finger prints were vanquished again on Make-A-Difference Day, October 22nd .
The library staff would like to thank project leaders Michelle and Mike Burns for all of their organization and planning, equipment, and hard work. And a big thank you to the delightful and hard working crew of volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, who gave their time and energy. They definitely made a difference!
