Not a Good-bye But a See You Later

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Generous Volunteer and Donor

We would like to extend our warmest and sincerest thanks to all the wonderful patrons who have stopped by to donate books to the Pohnpei Public Library. Each donation—whether a beloved children’s story, a well-worn novel, or an informative guide—has helped enrich our shelves and, more importantly, our community. Your kindness makes it possible for others to explore new worlds, learn new ideas, and discover the joy of reading. Thank you for thinking of us and for choosing to share your stories with others.

This week we was want to share how we are especially grateful for individuals like Zachary Petrini, a dedicated student volunteer whose generosity and spirit have left a lasting impression on the library. Not only has Zachary given his time to assist during programs and events, but he has also donated a variety of books, a collection of LEGOs, and even iPads—resources that will bring joy, creativity, and valuable learning opportunities to our young patrons. His thoughtfulness and commitment reflect the very best of our community, and we deeply appreciate the difference he made at the library.

As Zachary prepares to move on to the next chapter of his journey, we know his presence at the library will be missed. His consistent dedication and helpful attitude have made a positive impact on our programs and on the many young visitors who have benefited from his support. The Board of the FPPL as well as the staff are grateful for everything he’s contributed during his time with us, and we wish him all the best in what comes next. 

We are deeply grateful to be part of a community that gives so generously and cares so deeply. Thank you for standing with us.
