I'm thrilled that my organization (Volunteer New York!) is able to work with the Westchester Library System to engage volunteers in meaningful projects, such as tutoring adult learners, offering information sessions to seniors about important medical benefits, and the much-anticipated Battle of the Books event. Improving literacy skills and knowledge is critical to building a stronger and more informed community, and I can't think of a better place to accomplish that than with the local library system. Thank you for your tireless work as an accessible community center for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds!
