Nancy Jenkins Is On CNS Cablevision

If you have CNS cablevision, which is my channel 6, you'll be able to see Nancy Jenkins.
Who is Nancy Jenkins? you ask.
Well, Nancy Jenkins is the president of the MCCLS Friends organization and she's being interviewed by Amy Johnson, who is the Moultrie Main Street Director.
It was great to see some publicity about our Friends volunteers, and Nancy did a great job of telling about
them.
They're a fast growing organization consisting entirely of volunteer advocates, who believe passionately in the need for a strong library system to benefit the community. They focus on the library's services and needs; volunteer assistance with programs, special events, or in-library services; promote the use of library resources and programs throughout the community; and raise funds for special projects, equipment, and materials in excess of the general library budget.
As a MCCLS Friend, membership includes an ID card, discounts on library specialty items, early admission to special events, invitations to library receptions, limited fine-forgiveness, advance notice of special additions to library materials, and a cheerful Friends sign to put in your
yard.
The annual membership dues are $5 for children/students, $15 for adults, $10 for seniors/military, and $25 for family. Of course, special categories include contributors for $100, sponsors for $250, and benefactors for $500.
There are lots of volunteer opportunities such as: book detailer, reviewer, and shelver; computer assistant, display designer, front desk/reference area monitor on Tuesday evenings and Saturdays during lunch; as well as being a green thumb for the plants, a homebound book deliverer, and a homework assistant. Plus there are a few more jobs the library needs help with.
If you're interested in being a Friend of the library and have questions, you can call the library at 229-985-6540 or email friends@mccls.org. Or ask one of the officers: Nancy Jenkins at 985-1438, vice president Mary Ann Stone at 985-9453, secretary Ginger Horkan at 985-7064, or treasurer Carol Spence at 891-0651.
You'll enjoy working in a friendly environment, meeting new and interesting people, gaining a sense of satisfaction from helping others, and (my favorite) keeping up with the latest books.
So, be sure to look for Nancy Jenkins on television. She's our star performer.
