A Big Thank You to Our Story Hour Volunteers!

The month of October and November 2024 was a truly special time for the children at the Pohnpei Public Library, thanks to the generosity and hard work of some amazing individuals. We are incredibly grateful to our wonderful volunteers who made story hour and educational activities an unforgettable experience for our young readers.

First and foremost, we want to extend a huge thank you to Mr. Andrew Trigg, our incredible volunteer from Australia, who has read  for us during the month of October. Mr. Trigg brought stories to life with his engaging readings, captivating the children’s imaginations with every word. His enthusiasm and connection with the kids were evident, making story hour a fun and memorable event for all involved. We can’t thank him enough for sharing his time and energy with us!

We also want to recognize our Library Aide, Mr. Jordan Ligorio, whose dedication and hard work were instrumental in ensuring the smooth running of our educational activities. From helping set up coloring stations to organizing cut-out crafts, Mr. Ligorio made sure that every child had the opportunity to participate and enjoy the activities. His friendly demeanor and support helped create an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone.

A big thank you also goes to Ms. Resel Augustine, our amazing custodian, whose behind-the-scenes efforts played a vital role in making sure our library was clean and ready for each session. Her attention to detail and care for the space helped ensure that both the children and volunteers could enjoy a comfortable and safe environment for learning and fun. She has also supported the reading hour activities at the library in many ways which recently included reading to the children for out oral history story hour here teaching our young ones about karma through a short Pohnpeian story called "Kout Pwurehng ah Mwur."

Together, these wonderful individuals helped make October and November a memorable month of growth, creativity, and learning for our young patrons. The children loved the reading sessions, and the coloring and cut-out activities allowed them to express themselves in new and exciting ways.

The Pohnpei Public Library team are strong believers in their work and continue to dedicate their time and efforts, which have had a lasting impact on our community, and we thank you once again for all that you do!
