Library Holds 3rd Annual Volunteer Luncheon

The Dansville Public Library held its 3rd Annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon Thursday, September 13th recognizing the contributions of the nearly 120 volunteers who serve the Library. Mrs. Gay Frame was named as ‘Volunteer of the Year.’

Frame was recognized for her many years of service and dedication to the vital services of the Library. Frame served on the Board of Trustees for more than ten years holding the offices of Secretary and President. Her tenure as President occurred in the 1980s during a time of renovation and growth for the Library including securing a number of grants to add a handicapped accessible ramp, rewiring of the Library, updated heating systems and lighting, as well as staff expansion. In recent years, Frame continues to serve as a ‘Friend’ assisting at the Annual Book Sale and, most recently, as coordinator of the annual volunteer recognition luncheon.

Attended by 55 volunteers and guests, Director Teresa Dearing thanked all those present for their commitment to the Library. ‘Thanks to the generosity of volunteers like you,’ said Dearing, ‘we are able to do so much more for our community members.’ Volunteers of the Library range from ‘Friends’ who assist at events, to members of the Board of Trustees, to individuals who offer special talents or resources to the Library.

The Dansville Public Library, housed in the historic Shepard Memorial building at 200 Main Street, serves 10,419 people from Dansville and the surrounding nine towns and villages. With annual circulations in excess of 50,000, the Library is a community center dedicated to providing a gathering place for residents to explore, to meet, to learn and to relax.
