Ever wondered how much work it takes to get all those books, CDs and DVDs onto the Library’s shelves?

Elaine Mills knows. Two years ago, she decided to volunteer at the Columbia Pike Branch Library because she and her family have patronized the Branch for almost 30 years.

Elaine’s work includes checking items in that have been returned, preparing items to go to other Arlington Library locations, pulling expired items from the hold shelf, and special projects as needed.

Jack Chellman, a sophomore at The Bullis School, has volunteered practically every Saturday at the Cherrydale Branch Library since October 2009.

Jack has always loved reading, so when he saw the request for volunteers, he immediatelyresponded with his in-person support.

Jack enjoys working on finding items on the holds list, and if he finishes early, he’ll always plunge into shelving whatever most needs to beshelved.

Staff members at Cherrydale are always cheeredby his smile and willingness to help!
