Volunteers Needed

 
Two Parent Librarians Needed 

Do you love to help kids discover the wonder of reading?  Are you a book lover?  Well, you're needed at Raskob!  

Ms. Jessica Baiocchi is looking for one or two parents who can volunteer about 2 hours a week on a regular basis to help with our beautiful Library.  

Here are some of the things you'll do: research new books we should purchase to have for the kids, re-shelve the books, help with special library projects,  and perhaps support our students in the library.  

20 Family Volunteer Hours can be easily gotten by serving in this way. 

If you're interested, please contact Jessica Baiocchi
