A Visit from Australian Volunteers at Pohnpei Public Library

Shaking Hands with Our Biggest Island Sibling

On February 13th, the Pohnpei Public Library had the pleasure of welcoming a special group from Australian Volunteers International. Led by Mrs. Kenye Ehmes RMrs. Trueleen J. Albert (Head Librarian) and Mr. Andrew Trigg (Australian Volunteer for PPL), they toured the library to learn more about the various sections and operations.

The tour included a visit to the computer lab, where technology helps support learning, as well as the kids' section, adult section, and office. The group also had the opportunity to meet the dedicated staff members present that day: Mr. Jordan Ligorio, Library Aide, and Ms. Resel Augustine, Custodian.
