At the Long Island Community Library we would be nowhere. This volunteer run library exists due to the many hours of volunteers giving their time, which allow the library to be open every day of the week in the summer, and most days the rest of the year. Volunteers not only keep the library open, but they curate gallery shows, provide tech support, bake goods for events, write blogs, run programs, organize a continuous book sale, and generally make sure that the library is a safe and fun place for families, seniors, and all of the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August we celebrated these volunteers with a lovely event in the library, full of delicious food, beautiful flowers, great conversation, and a time to thank departing board members and library staff. We are so grateful to our volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/liclblog.townoflongisland.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LICL-volunteer-party-spread.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/liclblog.townoflongisland.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LICL-volunteer-party-spread.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liclblog.townoflongisland.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LICL-volunteer-party-spread.jpg 720w, https:\/\/liclblog.townoflongisland.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LICL-volunteer-party-spread-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/liclblog.townoflongisland.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LICL-flowers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/liclblog.townoflongisland.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LICL-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liclblog.townoflongisland.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LICL-flowers.jpg 720w, https:\/\/liclblog.townoflongisland.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/LICL-flowers-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where would we be without volunteers?
