Volunteer of the Month - April
This month's Volunteer of the Month is Alexis Kotokou. He has been volunteering as a shelver since December of 2010. The staff has nominated him because of the way he lights up the library when he walks in with his positive, sunny disposition and attitude. He sometimes shelves several times a week, and is up for any task we ask of him, and even ones that we don't. We couldn't do this without volunteers like Alexis! So, thanks to Alexis for contributing his time and brightening our day at the Wells Branch Community Library.
