Volunteer Librarians Needed for a North Lawndale Elementary School

We have spent tens of thousands of dollars upgrading our library collection to be current and meet the needs and interests of our students. We have collected nearly a dozen furniture donations to transform the space into a beautiful place for reading. But we have lost our librarian, and this amazing resource sits unused. This is a travesty!

We are looking for volunteers, either in teams or as individuals, who could help us reopen the library for our students. Volunteer tasks would include helping students find books, helping check out books, re-shelving books, reading books to children, and infusing a love of reading. Training will be provided and the time commitment can range from 3 to 10 hours a week.

If you love to read and find fascination and power in books, please help nurture that same love of literacy in our youngest generation. Our children need you!
