Olney added that the fair was created as a bridge between organizations seeking volunteers and people looking to volunteer. "People have approached us asking where to find information on community agencies looking for volunteers and we thought this was a good way--to have a centralized fair.
Olney said that the library hopes this fair will be the first of many to come.
