Congratulations to Amelia Smith, winner of the North Carolina Public Library Director’s Association Volunteer of the Year award.
Amelia consistently demonstrates her dedication to the Library and is one of our most enthusiastic Teen Volunteers at Neuse Regional Libraries. As part of her volunteer service, Amelia serves as a teen tutor providing afterschool homework help as well as a Book Buddy for one-on-one shared reading practice with local students.
Amelia is an incredible advocate for the Library, writing not one but two local online news articles promoting teen library programs, in an effort to connect with unreached teens. She has also spearheaded our first Teen Volunteer Service Project, which was a pet food drive for our local animal shelter.
We thank you Amelia for all the amazing work you do!
