You may have noticed when walking into or out of the Churchill County Library, a wall with tiles commemorating the names of donors to the Churchill Library Association.
For a donation starting at $1,000, donors can have their name placed on a tile on the wall.
One such donor has taken the opportunity to honor others.
Library Director Carol Lloyd said this donor sends money to the library every month and gets to choose who gets their name on a tile on the wall.
That person has chosen to honor Hayden and Carly Diegel, a pair of preteen volunteers at the library.
“They are our future and such wonderful and dedicated volunteers,” the donor wrote in an email to Lloyd.
The Churchill Library Association is the fundraising arm of the library, and the programs it supports include the Summer Reading Program, the RFID system, which is the automated checkout and return system for books, and the Donor Wall.
And just as it relies on fundraising to supplement the money it gets from the county; the library also relies on volunteers to supplement the work of its staff. Lloyd said until the Covid-19 pandemic curtailed in-person library activities, the library was receiving enough volunteer hours to equal about a 1.25 full-time equivalent position.
