City Recognizes Volunteers

On behalf of the Paso Robles City Library Volunteer Program, I wish to thank the local businesses that made each day of National Volunteer Week deliciously special - House of Bagels, Chubby Chandler Pizza, Delightful Desserts, Red Brick Pizza, Paso Robles Bakery, and Dolly’s Doughnuts.

While Library staff knows first-hand the immense contributions the 100-plus library volunteers make on a daily basis, it is especially gratifying to see tangible proof of community support for their hard work and commitment to excellence.
