News Release

NORTH WEBSTER — North Webster Community Public Library would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all the community volunteers who contributed their time and energy to make the summer reading program a tremendous success. Your dedication and support have made a significant impact on the lives of patrons, especially the children who participated in this enriching program.

Volunteers at NWCPL are the backbone of their operations, and their contributions are invaluable to the continued success of the library.
