Happy National Volunteer Week!
Service Takes Many Forms here at the Library, and every year, during this national celebration of volunteers and volunteerism, we take some time to recognize our incredible volunteers here at Queens Public Library.
This recognition includes the Go the Extra Mile (GEM) Award, given to those QPL volunteers who go above and beyond in their service and embody the Library’s mission “to transform lives by cultivating personal and intellectual growth and by building strong communities”; and the Shining Star Award, given to members of the Friends of QPL who inspire and motivate others to action and work together to provide ideas, resources, and opportunities that uplift their community.
This year, we also want to honor those individuals who completed a minimum of 75, 150, and 250 or more hours of service between October 2023 and May 2024, on our Volunteer Milestones Wall of Fame.
Visit our National Volunteer Week 2024 webpage to read the inspiring stories of all these wonderful QPL volunteers.
We thank them all for their service to Queens Public Library.
This National Volunteer Week (and beyond), visit volunteer.queenslibrary.org to learn how you can become a QPL volunteer!
PS: Who are some of QPL's most important volunteers? Our QPL Teens, of course!
