"The library is quiet, but full of life"

By: Sushania Pryce,  Summer Work & Travel Participant and Greenheart Club Member

Sushania is a Work & Travel exchange student with CCI-Greenheart  from Jamaica and is working as a hostess at Federal Jacks Restaurant in Kennebunk, Maine. In addition to working full time as a part of her program, Sushania has chosen to participate in our Greenheart Club by spending her limited free time volunteering at a local library! She has already volunteered there twice. Below Sushania reflects about her volunteer experience at the library and shares a photo collage of her volunteering.

Never have I thought I would meet a warmer, more hospitable, set of people than the ones I have met at the Louis T. Graves Memorial Library. The director welcomed me with open arms and my trainer was a vibrant lady who showed me everything I needed to know about the library and made me feel warm and welcomed. I must say I truly enjoy volunteering there and I’m happy that, that this is where I chose to volunteer. Re-shelving books and assisting patrons without getting paid is truly a remarkable feeling, especially when done with a smile. I am truly amazed at how complex the library is and was extremely happy when I realized how “green” they were, from recycling books to recycling ink cartridges. The Louis T. Graves Memorial Library is quiet but full of life!
