Volunteer Scholarships Awarded
The staff at Fredricksen Library participates in a weekly dress down day. Each participant is asked to donate $1 toward a Volunteer Scholarship Fund. We are so proud to announce this year’s recipients are Zach Bishop and Kristi Barr.
Zach has been a volunteer at the library since 2007, Kristi since 2008. Both have been a part of the library’s Teen Advisory Group (TAG), which gives input and plans for teen programs. Through the years, both Zach and Kristi have displayed leadership qualities as the teen group worked together to make programming and budgeting decisions.
Through TAG, Zach and Katie also assisted in raising funds for the teen area in the library. Over the years they sold baked goods and passed out information at our summer concerts. They had fun and shared laughs while washing cars for a TAG fundraiser. They never hesitated to climb ladders and hang snowflakes to decorate the library for the holidays. They consistently helped box books after the Friends of Fredricksen book sales. Their volunteer work has been invaluable to Fredricksen.
Through the years, both Zach and Kristi have shown a respect and passion for their local library. Their passion has been contagious and brings out the best in all of the Teen Advisory Group. It has been a great honor to watch them grow and all the staff of Fredricksen Library wishes them great success for their futures.
