Dear Whitman Families and Friends, Please read the following message from one of Whitman Parents regarding keeping the Whitman Elementary Library. During the School Site Council meetings at Whitman the parents went to bat to keep the library open in spite of the fact that we did not have funds for a librarian. We said that we would be willing to staff it with volunteers. Well here's our chance to make good on our promise. Karen has been WONDERFUL in helping get everything started. I offered to be her point of contact to help gather and organize volunteers. Attatched is a flyer about volunteering. Please spread the word that the library needs volunteers, some weekly, some not. Our biggest task at the moment is putting away books that have been checked in and getting ready to tackle the teacher resource section. Have anyone interested contact me (my phone and an email are on the flyer) and I will check with Angela and make sure they can volunteer in the school and then we will put them to work. Thanks for all you have done for this school! Sincerely, Lynn Reeves
