The Berlin-Peck Memorial Library is looking for a creative volunteer to help design and change out their lobby display case each month. Themes are predetermined (ex: poetry, holiday/season, best books, etc.) and supplies are provided. The volunteer will take down the previous month's display and work in coordination with library staff to create and design a new display. Experience in bulletin board design and knowledge of Canva preferred but not required. Time commitment would be approximately 2-5 hours per month. If interested, email Carrie Tyszka at library@berlinpeck.org.
