FROM THE MEDIA CENTER New Hope Library Help Wanted If you have some free time and would like to volunteer in a very calming atmosphere then we have a place for you! No previous library experience necessary. There are many areas where we need your help. For example, when we purchase new books we must process them and before they hit the shelves they are covered (which protects them 6 times longer than normal). There are always books needing covering! This is an easy and very helpful thing to do. If you would like to help out one Sunday a month during worship service, we can teach you our VERY easy computer check-out system. Or if you are looking for something to do during the week we could use your help when our Preschool Classes come to the library. You do not even need to come and work on a set day and time; after you are trained you can just pop-in to help. We re just grateful for help whenever you can come! SUNDAY SCHOOL EMPHASIS DECLARE.DISCIPLE.DO (provided by Wendell Banks) We appreciate the faithful work of our Teachers in the Senior Adult classes. Dr. Kenn Gangel reminds us,"teachers who create a warm and casual environment for learning, who demonstrate patience, and Biblical love to their students, set the stage for serious study by serious seniors." We pray that you will continue the good work and may God bless you.
