Sno-Isle Libraries is honoring President’s Volunteer Service Award recipients who volunteer at local libraries. Eight of the 38 award recipients volunteer at the Mountlake Terrace Library.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award is a nationally recognized initiative of the Corporation for National and Community Service, a federal agency founded in 1990. The agency’s mission is to inspire more people to answer the call to service. The award celebrates the impact volunteers can make in bettering their communities.

“The Sno-Isle Libraries volunteer program is an unqualified success thanks to the people who commit their time, talents and hearts to serving their communities,” Executive Director Jonalyn Wolff-Ivory said. “I’m so proud of the 38 volunteers who achieved the President’s Volunteer Service Award and all our volunteers who help across the system.”

The award honors those who complete specified numbers of volunteer hours serving specific age groups over 12 months. Volunteers who achieve these milestones are recognized with gold-, silver- or bronze-level awards. For 2015, the 38 Sno-Isle President’s Volunteer Service Award recipients contributed a total of more than 5,400 volunteer hours. The recipients from the Mountlake Terrace Library are:

Gold award
Anthony Le

Silver award
Linda Patterson

Bronze award
Karen Bodnar
Mary Brown
Thomas Ghebreyesus
Justin Green
Linda McCann
Richard McGee

The other 30 recipients volunteer at libraries such as the Lynnwood Library, Oak Harbor Library, Mukilteo Library and Stanwood Library, among others.

The Sno-Isle volunteers who reached this goal will be honored during an event from 10:30 a.m.-noon, Saturday, April 16, at the Sno-Isle Libraries Service Center.
