Head Librarian Kristin Bennett welcomed everyone and thanked them for

They were always ready and raring to go. She again thanked them for
everything they do for them. They had 42 volunteers in 2012 contributing
3, 658.25 hours to the Library. They could not do it without the
volunteers who were a vital part of the Library. She then introduced
Lucinda Colee, Library Director who also expressed her appreciation to the
Edgewater volunteers . Last year the entire Library system had over 75, 000
volunteer hours. She thanked the volunteers for all their time and
service. Ms. Bennett then introduced Walter Jubinsky, Regional Manager
from New Smyrna Beach, who also thanked the volunteers and expressed his
appreciation. She also introduced Deputy City Clerk Lisa Bloomer and
asked the Library Board members to stand and be recognized.

patron and volunteer.
Ms. Bennett then thanked the County who sponsored the event and the
Friends of the Library. She also thanked the Bed Pan Band for coming as
they would be providing the entertainment.
Ms. Bennett turned the meeting over to Jeanne Buckley, Volunteer
Coordinator. Each volunteer was given a book mark as a token of the
Library staff' s appreciation. She then commented on some of the duties
the volunteers perform as well as their dedication. On behalf of the
entire staff they were indebted to the volunteers.
